Naturalización evolutiva de la cultura. Tradición y resistencias de un concepto estructurante
Resumen
Naturalizing the evolution of culture: tradition and resistance of a structurant concept.
This text examines some classic supposition on the much-publicized “ontological autonomy” of the human cultural condition, as well as its relationship with the epistemic autonomy of anthropology as a science. Attributions of Homo sapiens’ culturality, such as its holistic character, its extrasomatism, its informational, ideational and symbolic self-transcendence, even its implication in the evolutionary phenomenon of ethnogenesis, reveal part of the theoretical singularity of anthropological thinking, particularly expressed through the capital symbol of its disciplinary, discursive and intellectual identity: that of the concept culture.
Key words: Culture, ontology, symbol, anthropological heuristics, epistemic anthropology, extrasomatic, ethnogenesis, human evolution.
