Finally, it considers the importance of using social and models to providing a comprehensive understanding of all the determinants and influences relevant to a particular health issue, and informing the development of efficacious, practitioner-delivered lifestyle–change interventions to address these issues at a public health and societal level is distinguished from traditional anthropological and social science theory in its emphasis on the individual as the unit of selection and the idea that much of the content of culture is a consequence of decisions by individuals to enhance their inclusive fitness. Ever since its founding as a discipline, anthropologists have argued that individuals sacrifice themselves to enhance the integration or survival of the social systems in which they participate or are much like puppets or robots manipulated by culture (Cronk 1991). Furthermore, any attempt to reduce or link cultural behavior to lower levels of analysis was specifically condemned. Human behavior was believed to have emergent properties irreducible to the facts of psychology and biology. While it is clear that some of human behavior are not usefully reduced to underlying psychological or biological processes simple observation tells us that humans are biological and psychological entities and some of the behavioral diversity can be usefully d to underlying levels of analysis.
