To conqur other lands and tribes? Who did they immitate when they were the first humans on planet? Their monkey parents? You cant say cultural practice because there was no culture before them. It was in their nature. Nature doesn't cause cultural practices. All cultural practices are artificial, and have no connection with nature/reality, but are presented and perpetuated in such a way that the common man thinks they have a connection with nature, or even as a manifestation of nature. Most human beings have a hard time accepting that culture has nothing to do with nature. Something becomes cultural practice when a large enough group of people decide to perptuate said behaviour. There's no connection between culture and reality. You can't say "it was in their nature", because neither you nor anybody else was there to see what happened. It was probably irrational behavior that people were testing as they started reasoning. And if we're talking about "tribes", then that already can be called culture. Its less irrelevant than you think, seeing as african tribes are todays's africans grand grand...parents. And no, african tribes didnt dissapear. There are still some active today. It's irrelevant because those tribes have nothing to do with contemporary societies in Africa. 'Because a culture has such an amazing development in a human body development'' <---- I meant that in biological way. No, however culture has a huge influence in how people choose to develop their bodies (and in the end that's all it comes down to eat, as bodies don't develp themselves). |
