Cultures tend to be integrated wholes. On the most basic level, a culture includes techniques found useful for survival. It is, therefore, shaped by the environment. But it also means techniques useful for surviving in the society. On a higher level, they provide a means of group identification.
Culture facilitates group interaction.
Culture distinguishes one Society from another. Society is a group of people sharing a common culture. Society and culture distinguish those who are members of a group from those who are not members of the group. While there is ample evidence that weapons were used to hunt game, there is little evidence that these weapons were used against human beings. WebChron Copyright 1998 by David W. Koeller.
