What is anthropology? 

The exploration of human diversity in time and space.

A holistic and comparative perspective 

most characterizes anthropology among the disciplines that study humans.

Human abilities to learn, to think symbolically, to use language, and to employ tools and other products in organizing our lives and adapting to our environments 

rest on certain features of human biology that make culture, which is not itself biological, possible.

Which is not true about culture? 

Culture is passed on genetically to future generations.

What is the process by which children learn a particular cultural tradition? 

Enculturation

This chapter's description of how humans cope with low oxygen pressure in high altitudes illustrates

human capacities for cultural and biological adaptation, the latter involving both genetic and physiological adaptations.

The presence of more efficient respiratory systems to extract oxygen from the air among human populations living at high elevations is an example of which form of adaptation? 

Long-term physiological adaptation
