Summary, etc. Culture became differentiated as soon as it appeared. Ever<br/>since the earliest days of human history local groups of<br/>people have been distinguished from one another by dif-<br/>ferences in speech, custom, belief, and costume, in so far as any<br/>was worn. We may believe, also, that man has always been aware<br/>of those differences that set his own group apart from others.<br/>Thus we might say that, in a sense, mankind has always been<br/>culture conscious. And, ever since the time of Herodotus at<br/>least there have been attempts to account for cultural variations<br/>among mankind. Some thinkers accounted for cultural differences<br/>in terms of environmental influence; one kind of habitat would<br/>produce one type of culture, another habitat a different type.<br/>Others were inclined to attribute cultural variation to innate<br/>mental or temperamental differences. In comparatively recent<br/>times the new sciences of sociology and social psychology worked<br/>out general principles of a science of social behavior, but these<br/>were assumed to be common to all mankind and so could not<br/>account for cultural differences among tribes and nations. Social<br/>interaction is a universal process; conflict, co-operation, accom-<br/>modation, the four wishes, etc., are worldwide; they might account<br/>for cultural uniformities, but not differences. True, these sciences<br/>did not address themselves to the problem of cultural variation;<br/>they were limited almost entirely to the framework of one culture,<br/>Western civilization.
