The text tells us that stratification exists in every culture that anthropology has studied today.We are also told that systems of stratification and power such as class are not intrinsic to human culture.This seemingly contradictory set of statements might be resolved through archaeological evidence that itself suggests that what aspect of human social behavior leant itself to a non-stratified society?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Archaeological evidence and studies of modern non-stratified societies suggest that cooperation and collective decision-making were key factors that allowed for a more egalitarian social structure to exist. In such societies, there is a lack of centralized power and authority, with decisions being made through consensus and cooperation rather than through force or hierarchy. Therefore, choice A, cooperation, is the best answer.
