Culture

Culture is the things, costumes, and almost everything a society do: saying hello giving the hand or a kiss, using forks or wood sticks, girls using bikinis or completely covered, having only one woman or nine, eating different types of meat (some cultures dont eat pork, or sheep, etc) etc..

There are some theories of culture, and I am going to show you the theory of Claude Levi-Strauss because I think is really accurate and certain.

"Culture is neither natural nor artificial. It stems from neither genetics nor rational thought, fot it is made up of rules of conduct, which were nor inventedand whose function if generally not understood by the people who obey them. Some of these rules are residues of traditions acquiered in the different types of social structure through which.... each human group has passed. Other rules have been consciously accepted or modified for the sake of specific goals. Yet there is no doubt that, between the instricts inherited from our genotype and the rules inspired by reason, the mass of unconscious rule remains more important and more effective; because reason itself... is a product rather than a cause of cultural evolution."
