Here we are left between the horns of a conceptual dilemma: on the one hand, of adaptationist reductionism which views culture as an autonomous and uniform world of symbols, entirely freed from the constraints of human mind and brain, and on the other, ethereal/ideational idealism which misses the magic of shared symbols among human beings. We should not expect an electic composite under whichall theorists of variant ideas would congregate. Any statement about culture on which they could agree would probably be vacuous. Nonetheless, we can conceive of culture as an ideational subsystem within a vastly complex system – biological, social and symbolic, and ground out abstract models in the concrete particularities of human social life. Such dialectic is likely to yield a deepening understanding of humans-in-environments.
