ABSTRACT
... we know well that, both de facto and de jure, the emergence of culture will remain a mystery to man. Such a mystery will remain until he succeeds in determining, on the biological level, the modifications of the structure and functioning of the brain of which culture was at one and the same time the natural result and the social mode of apprehension, and which at the same time created the intersubjective milieu indispensable to further transformations (C. Lévi-Strauss, The Scope of Anthropology, 1967, pp. 24-5).
