Neuroanthropology
'Neuroanthropology' is a broad term, intended to embrace all dimensions of聽human neural activity, including emotion, perception, cognitive, motor聽control, skill acquisition, and a range of other issues. Unlike previous聽ways of doing psychological or cognitive anthropology, it remains open and聽heterogeneous, recognizing that not all brain systems function in the same聽way, so culture will not take hold of them in identical fashion. Although聽we believe that human neural structure is biological and the product of聽evolution, we also recognize that the development processes shaping each聽individual include a host of other forces as well, so that we cannot聽privilege any single cause over all other.
