4. FRANCISCO JOSE AYALA
According to Ayala a noted Spanish-American
biologist, the theory of evolution in biology
suggests that "various types types of plants,
animals, and other living things on earth have
their origins in other pre-existing types and the
distinguishable differences are due to
modifications in successive generations."
6. Anthropologists introduced the concepts of
Biocultural evolution sometimes in the
1970s. They refer biocultural evolution as
"the mutual interactive evolution of human
biology and culture". The concept focuses
on the idea that "biology makes culture
possible and that devloping culture further
influences the direction of biological
evolution".

8. The Savage stage is the lowest stage of development which is
exemplified by the nomadic and hunger-gathered lifestyle.
In the 19th century, he came up with an evolutionary
scheme that divided history into three stages of
development; Savery, barbarism and civilization.
LEWIS HENRY
MORGAN
The barbaric stage, meanwhile, is the middle stage of development
where people began learning agriculture techniques and the
domestication of animals.
The civilized stage is the highest stage of development where
people learned writing.

MODERNIZATION
THEORIES
The sociologist Max Weber, writing in the early 20th
century, observed the process of rationalization and
bureaucratization that happened in modern
industrial societies.
16. Emile Durkheim, distinguished archaic, traditional
societies from modern societies.
MODERNIZATION
THEORIES
Durkheim describe traditional societies to be bound
by what he called mechanical solidarity, or a sense
of bonding within the community based on similar
belief, values, and activities as well as kinship ties
berween its members.
More developed societies, are characterized by an
organic solidarity where division of labor is
specialized.
