Dear mates
➡️However, the theory of natural selection presents subtle and difficult problems for anthropology. Darwin wrote that he over-stressed natural selection to show that historical processes alone could account for human origins. In “Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals”(1872), he used cross-cultural data to identify human behavioral universals in order to show that our species had a single evolutionary origin. He abstained from offering selective explanations in that book, but in “Descent of Man,” he identified important behavioral questions whose evolution is difficult to explain, such as traits like celibacy or self-sacrifice for others, in which individuals seem to voluntarily short-change their own biological interests. The evolution of such traits is still discussed today, and some of Darwin’s ideas accepted. ⬅️

Anthropology is the study of humans and human behavior and societies in the past and present . His definition now became the study of the human group, considered as a whole, in its details, and in relation to the rest of nature
