b. Although individuals differ in their emotional and intellectual capacities, all human populations have equivalent capacities for culture.
c. Although an individual’s genetic endowment does not affect that person’s ability to learn cultural traditions, it does affect his or her capacity to change culture creatively.
d. Although human populations differ in their emotional and intellectual capacities, all individuals have equivalent capacities for culture.
e. Both mental abilities and disabilities are evenly distributed among individuals of all cultures.

Answer 1

B. Although individuals differ in their emotional and intellectual capacities, all human populations have equivalent capacities for culture

Step-by-step explanation:

German anthropologist Adolf Philipp Wilhelm Bastian (26 June 1826 – 2 February 1905) is recognized as the pioneer of the "psychic unity of man".

The idea suggests that all mankind regardless of race, color,culture, religion share a common psychological framework or uniform cognitive makeup. In other words, unifying humanity as all man are one and the same.
