are becoming harder to find.
B. According to Marcus and Fischer (1986), “The cultures of world peoples need to be
constantly rediscovered as these people reinvent them in changing historical circumstances.”
C. A more dynamic world system, with greater and faster movements of people across space,
speeds up the process of evolution, making the study of genetic adaptations more difficult.
D. Anthropological research tools do not work in this new modern world system, making their
contributions less valuable.
E. Since cultures are tied to place, people moving around and connecting across space means
the end of culture, and thus the end of anthropology.
