Approaches in Studying Culture
Evolutionism
Functionalism
Structuralism
the notion that culture
follows a specific line or
stage of development.
Evolutionism
views culture as similar to
a biological organism, in
which parts work together
to support the operation
of the whole.
Functionalism
analyzes culture in
terms of the structural
relations of its elements
Structuralism
contends that culture can have multiple meanings and can exist
independently of the people who created them.
Postmodernism
Characteristics of Culture
Culture is adaptive
Culture is learned
Culture is shared
Culture is integrated
Cultures interact and change
The process of learning culture, both formally and informally, is called
enculturation or socialization.
refers to an object or concept’s initial appearance in
society
Innovation
refers to the spread of material and nonmaterial culture in
different places
Diffusion
a process through which an individual or a group
from one culture adopts the practices and values of another culture,
while still retaining their own distinct culture.
Acculturation
the process by which different cultural groups become
more and more alike.
Assimilation
the perspective that each culture
must be understood in terms of the values and ideas of
that culture and not judged by the standards of another
culture
Cultural relativism
The opposite of cultural relativism is
ethnocentrism
independently discovered the principle of Natural
Selection
Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace
the process through which populations of living
organisms adapt and change
Natural selection
individuals in a population are all
different in some ways.
National Geographic
does not change any
single individual, according to th
Smithsonian (2020)
specializes on the
study of past cultures through various evidence
Archaeology
an order of
mammals that includes modern
humans.
primates
vary in size from several
ounces to more than 400 pounds.
Primates
is a
basic consideration because it is
related to behavior
morphology or physical form
have five digits on their hands and feet,
opposable thumbs, and they can grasp with both their
hands and feet
primates
Most primate species are
arboreal (tree-dwelling),
quadrupedal (moving on all fours),
diurnal (active
during the day)
The early hominins span from
8 million years ago to 2 million years ago
hominins are anatomically
distinct from other apes in three ways:
changes to the pelvis and lower limbs
related to habitual bipedalism or
upright locomotion on two feet, larger
brains, and smaller teeth.
refers to a
category of several extinct
species of early hominins
found in East and southern
Afric
Australopithecine
provided the first stone
tools
Australopithecine
includes extinct
hominin species that lived from 2.4 million years to 17,000 years
ago and had
a more modern
human
Archaic Homo
-like body shape, larger
brains, and smaller jaws and
teet
Archaic Homo
Archaic Homo Belonging to this group are the:
Homo habilis
* Homo erectus
* Homo floresiensis
* Homo luzonensis
are the last
archaic Homo species which
survived from 400,000 to
30,000 years ago
Neanderthals
the species to which
modern humans belong
Homo sapiens
refers to Homo sapiens,
“anatomically modern humans” (AMH)
the last period during which any
evidence exists of significant morphological
change
modern humans
