13.Some anthropologists study modern-day societies of foragers in an effort to learn about our ancient ancestors who were also foragers. A flaw in this strat-egy is that forager societies are extremely varied. Indeed, any forager society with which anthropologists are familiar has had considerable contact with mo-dern nonforager societies.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the criticism made above of the anthropologists' strategy?
(A) All forager societies throughout history have had a number of important features in common that are absent from other types of societies. (B) Most ancient forager societies either dissolved or made a transition to another way of life. (C) All anthropologists study one kind or another of modern-day society. (D) Many anthropologists who study modern-day forager societies do not draw inferences about ancient societies on the basis of their studies. (E) Even those modern-day forager societies that have not had significant contact with modern societies are importantly different from ancient forager societies. 有疑问的是B,如果古代的社会也跟现代有接触,那么这种strategy不是可行的吗? |
