Social and Cultural Anthropology: A Very Short Introduction

Culture embraces all the manifestations of a social behaviour of a community, the reactions of the individual as affected by the habits of the group in which he lives, and the product of human activities as determined by these habits.

Franz Boas, 1930

Culture, or civilization...is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.

Edward Tylor, 1871
