      ab: The article discusses the anthropological perspectives on learning. Anthropological research problems, field studies, writings are concerned mainly with social, political, economic, and religious systems, their inter-relationships within societies, and the comparison of these from society to society. As such, there is no specifically anthropological conception of learning, or of how it occurs. But there is something to be said about learning from an anthropological point of view. When an anthropologist does concern himself with learning he is likely to start with some assumptions, and proceed to draw some inferences, that psychologists dealing with the same processes would not. The most determinant assumption with which an anthropologist is likely to start is that virtually all human learning occurs in a culturally influenced, if not culturally created environment. Therefore, it could be said that skill in cultural analysis makes possible the identification of significant cultural influences on the conditions of learning. Such identification should aid in predicting consequences for various courses of educational action.
