Why Humans Have Cultures: Explaining Anthropology and Social Diversity (OPUS)

Why Humans Have Cultures examines three basic questions: what unity underlies human cultural diversity What are the origins of that diversity How can we understand it The author argues that it is the ways in which people interact--rather than technological advances--that have been of crucial importance in human history. In this thought-provoking book, Carrithers draws on ancient and contemporary examples to show how this perspective forms a solid foundation for the study of culture, society, and history.
