Cultural (or socio - cultural) anthropologists are interested in understanding the cultural aspects of human society around the world. They usually focus their research on social and political organizations, marriage patterns and relatives systems, survival and economic models, and religious beliefs in different societies. Most cultural anthropologists are studying contemporary society, not ancient society. For the majority of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, those who were mainly interested in cultural anthropologists were those whose culture lived in an isolated little society, different from the culture of European and European Americans . Society in Africa, American Indians, and the Pacific Islands is often the subject of their research.

When I began studying band hunting - collecting society, I began to think seriously about the culture of my childhood. In my reading and my investigation of anthropologists living in these societies, I spend most of the time playing with groups from children of these societies - middle aged from about 4 to 10 I learned and explored. Other children away from adults (Gray, 2012, here as well) They will play in the mixed age group where young children imitate older people. I discovered that anthropologists who studied children with other types of traditional culture are writing about the participation of children in peer group as a major means of socialization and education (eg Lancy et al ., 2010; Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1989). In the discussion of this study, Judith Harris (1998) pointed out that if the interpretation is different from the usual Western interpretation, the general expression of "a village is necessary to raise children" is correct.
