a.
horace miner.
c.
margaret mead.
b.
napoleon chagnon.
d.
george murdock.

The correct answer is b. Margaret Mead

Explanation:

Mead in his work, refuted the idea of primitive societies, where the inhabitants were considered as children, or as if they were genetically determined to develop less advanced psychological states. She argued that human development depends on the social environment. From there, Mead observed that gender roles were very different among different societies, which led to the conclusion that these roles depend much more on culture than on biology.

answer; /// (culture);

i disagree that there is little difference between adult female development and adult male development. sociological studies comparing female and male pathways to adulthood, revelead that there are sustancial differences between them. particularly, female and male differ from timing of marriage, when they began to live with children and the likelihood of combining wife/husband and parent roles.
