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.
