Cultural Materialism: Human social life is a response to the needs of survival and then the wants of people who have met those needs. Therefore, human cultural groups can be studied through an examination of their “ things” and how they get them. Sociobiology: Human behaviour can be explained through evolution and genetics. People ultimately want to reproduce, eat, and defend their food, mates, and offspring.
