PART 1. EVALUATE
1. What is anthropology??
Answer: Is the scientific study of humans, human behavior and societies in the past and
present. Anthropology is a global discipline involving humanities, social sciences and natural
sciences. Anthropology builds upon knowledge from natural sciences, including the
discoveries about the origin and evolution of Homo sapiens, human physical traits, human
behavior, the variations among different groups of humans, how the evolutionary past of
Homo sapiens has influenced its social organization and culture, and from social sciences,
including the organization of human social and cultural relations, institutions, social conflicts.
2. What are the biological bases for society?
Answer: It has been estimated from archaeological data that the human capacity for
cumulative culture emerged somewhere between 500,000–170,000 years ago. Raimon
Panikkar identified 29 ways in which cultural change can be brought about, including growth,
development, evolution, involution, renovation, reconception, reform, innovation, revivalism,
revolution, mutation, progress, diffusion, osmosis, borrowing, eclecticism, syncretism,
modernization, indigenization, and transformation. In this context, modernization could be
viewed as adoption of Enlightenment era beliefs and practices, such as science, rationalism,
industry, commerce, democracy, and the notion of progress. Rein Raud, building on the
work of Umberto Eco, Pierre Bourdieu and Jeffrey C. Alexander, has proposed a model of
cultural change based on claims and bids, which are judged by their cognitive adequacy and
endorsed or not endorsed by the symbolic authority of the cultural community in question
Cultural invention has come to mean any innovation that is new and found to be useful to a
group of people and expressed in their behavior but which does not exist as a physical
object. Humanity is in a global "accelerating culture change period," driven by the expansion
of international commerce, the mass media, and above all, the human population explosion,
among other factors. Culture repositioning means the reconstruction of the cultural concept
of a society. These forces are related to both social structures and natural events, and are
involved in the perpetuation of cultural ideas and practices within current structures, which

themselves are subject to change. Social conflict and the development of technologies can
produce changes within a society by altering social dynamics and promoting new cultural
models, and spurring or enabling generative action.

Kingdom SUB-SPECIES
Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Class Mammalia
Order Primate
Family Hominidae
Genus Homo
Species Sapiens

2. Explain in your own words, do you believe that all human being are come from apes? Why?
Answer: With all due respect, aside from believing about the biblical theory about human
existence written at book of Genesis. I perhaps acknowledge/ believe about the human
evolution or human origin about we are from apes. Because on some evidences that the
apes and humans are in very similar ways on how they think about survival on daily lives,
the way they act and also the stands of their physical features are very similar. And the
intellect of the apes are also the same with humans. During my early age, when I first read
and explain by my teachers way back to elementary I really believe on this concept by
charles darwin. But later on when I was highschool, one of my professors elaborate to
explain about this theory, wherein some ancient or old animals shows evolution in due time
process, I can’t remember what exact animals are examples of that but the rhinoceros are
one of the closest evidence about the dinosaur who have horn on the nose about the
description or drawing of the ancient animals by our ancestor to the stones or caves. And
also in sea creatures the crocodile and the alligator are the evolution of the ancient deadly
sea creatures who also have long mouth and a body like lizard. And so in that evidences. I
can also say that I believe in this theory of charles darwin on “origin of species” where we
humans evolve from the apes.
