Social structure and infrastructure are parts of the same whole. They are also concepts that depend upon a certain frame of mind to be valid. If you think of it from another frame of mind, the difficulty disappears. I think. I'd have to read it in context to be sure? Anyways, whoever wrote this is a TERRIBLE writer.

I’m not actually sure what it is you’re referring to (oh dear… that probably suggests I’ve been getting disgruntled over too many badly thought out posts lately!) I’m going to take a guess it was a post about gender I was commenting on a while back.
I would agree that social structure has an organizational role in how a society operates (hope I’m understanding what you mean by infrastructure) I would also suggest that the “frame of mind” we’re talking about is one created by society rather than any sort of base cognition. It’s an absolute core fundamental of anthropology that there are plenty of concepts, everything from gender to time to distance, that manifest very differently in different societies, despite the people creating them having the same brain structure and living in the same world. Therefore, we can deduce that the difference is a social one.

Homo Sapien
Homo Neanderthausphysical difference
The physical difference is clear such as, the neanderthal is much more ape like i the jaw than the sapien but also the Neanderthal’s brow is larger and broader than the sapien’s.
But also the Neanderthal’s…
I desperately feel like adding something to this out of sheer irritation at the original post, but you covered it all and then some. ;-D
I don’t want to discourage someone who is obviously interested and enthusiastic about anthropology, but please, if you are going to do something like this, give us some citations, and research from a reputable source. Otherwise, you are doing youself and anyone following your blog a disservice.
If you’d like me to suggest some books you could check out to give you a good overview of hominids, I’d be happy to.

If, on the other hand, we realise that what was meant by social structure was not a system, but only certain moments in a long conversation, characterised by a specific cognitive system, and that infrastructure refers to the other moments in the conversation, when a different nature-constrained cognitive system is used, the difficulty dis- appears.

I have read this about twenty times over, and come to the conclusion that either I’m stupid or it’s gibberish.

I just threw up for the first time since I was 11. Ten years I managed without vomiting once, through being on ships and planes and in foreign climes and bumpy cars and fairground rides.
What just made me be sick?
I was reading the worst fanfiction ever, “My Immortal,” while drinking some Tesco Value cloudy lemonade, an acidic, carbonated drink that I sort of liked until about twenty minutes ago. And I laughed. I laughed at a hilarious typo, inhaled the lemonade, couldn’t breathe, ended up on my hands and knees wheezing not able to get enough air with my throat feeling like it was burning. Aaaand then I had to run off to the bathroom.
I just love this. Bad fanfiction made me physically sick.

whisperinggrass replied to your post: Going to London again for the weekend I don’t…I feel the same way about London being WAY too crowded and overwhelming, I considered popping on a train to go visit, but I’m pretty sure it would stop me enjoying it :-(
:( Yeah it’s very…
The Natural History museum is spectacular ;D I don’t think I’ve ever seen everything in there. It’s like the British Museum, I swear you’d need about three days to see it all properly. I’d love to see the Mousetrap too, I’m such a sucker for Agatha Christie. Perhaps you could make sure to visit some places that are a little out of the way for most tourists? I don’t know London especilly well, but there’s a great Forbidden Planet shop in London with lots of nerdy paraphenalia that’s tucked away from the hubub. Really want to go back there!

This is the non-descript ballad that the UK came second-to-last in Eurovision with.
And I can’t. stop. humming. it.
WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINK? I had his song “Les bicyclettes de Belsize in my head for a couple of months when I first heard. That is an infinately better song though.
