What makes a culture complex? Alternatively, what makes it not
complex?


"A culture becomes complex if 'hari kumar' does not understand it. Hence
most cultures are 'complex cultures'. However, should a culture involve
a whole lot of that old-time 'tribal wisdom', then it is not a 'complex
culture.'

Although no anthropologist, I believe this 'complex culture' is made up
stuff by evil personified, 'hari kumar'. The term 'complex society' is
probably more apt, at least it makes more sense to me than the nazi
rat's babble. Here is a wiki link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_society


Now one sees again why he is an american white bigot.

Very good, the first contribution outside a hissy fit rand I recall
seeing.


Very good, because I cut-and-paste a link? What an idiot.

The link s similar. The give away is the use of "society" in place of
culture. The latter as is used in anthropology includes what they mean
as society and more. That term is one more often seen with socologists
and they are most interested in current or recent social matters.


Nice to mix society and culture to put more spin on things, eh, halfwitted evil nazi jihadi rat?

For someone not informed about the meaning of culture as an
anthropoligst uses it would conclude it means things related to
appriciation of music and dance and liteature and so on. This is not
what is their concern.


Really? If it were a legit term or common anthropologist parlance, it would light up in a search engine, wouldn't it? But it does not, at least not as frequently as 'complex society', whose definition in the Wikipedia made a lot more sense than your idiotic ramble. Hah, literature, music, dance, etc. are not part of a 'culture'?

Briefly, anthropology concerns with "society" and all of human history
and even to consider of pre-human matters leading up to humans at all
places and all times. In short it is said culture as the baisis of
their behaviors is learned behaviors, while that of most other living
things is genetic based. Culture is passed on information just as
genetic information is passed on.


Fine

Archaeology and historical and current language studies and physical
evolution and cultures historically and at present as I have discussed
it briefly are the concerns of anthropology.

A sociologist would not commonly concern themselves with the development
of complex cultures in the indus valley or w. africa, even when they are
indian. Such is common fare with indian anthropologists.

Total incoherent bullshit. Please spell it more clearly in English and less so in baboonese.
