     An alternative approach is to break down cultures into ab-
     stract elements and to establish, between elements of the same
     type in different cultures, rather than between cultures themselves,
     the same kind of relationships of historical descent and progressive
     differentiation which the paleontologist sees in the evolution of
     species.
