Culture & Ethnology

"Culture & Ethnology" by Robert H. Lowie is a book that explains what culture is using lectures given in 1917. It focuses on making ethnology, the study of cultures, easier to understand. The book talks about important ideas about culture and how it connects to psychology, race, and the world around us. Lowie says that culture is made up of behaviors, beliefs, and habits that people learn in a society. He stresses that culture is complicated and not just about what people are born with. Instead, it is heavily influenced and created by society, distinguishing itself from innate traits.
