{wiki=Generative_anthropology}
Generative anthropology is an interdisciplinary field that examines the origins and development of human culture, language, and social structures. It is particularly associated with the work of anthropologist Eric Gans, who developed the concept in the 1980s. The core idea of generative anthropology is to explore how human societies generate meaning through language and culture, emphasizing the role of human desire and imitation in the creation of social norms and communicative practices.
