• La historia de la vida del individuo es, ante todo, una adaptación a las pautas y normas transmitidas tradicionalmente en su comunidad. Desde el momento de su nacimiento, las costumbres en las que ha nacido conforman su experiencia y su comportamiento.

• Un observador sólo verá los desarrollos extraños del comportamiento en culturas ajenas, no en la suya propia. Sin embargo, se trata obviamente de un sesgo local y temporal. No hay razón para suponer que una cultura se haya apoderado de una cordura eterna y se erija en la historia como solución solitaria del problema humano. Incluso la próxima generación sabe que no es así. Nuestro único camino científico es considerar nuestra propia cultura, en la medida de nuestras posibilidades, como un ejemplo entre otros innumerables de las configuraciones variantes de la cultura humana.
