Question 3: Modern anthropology asserts that sex-linked roles are primarily biological rather than cultural phenomena.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: Modern anthropology stands opposed to the view that anatomy is destiny, challenging the idea that sex-linked roles and statuses are primarily biological phenomena, suggesting they are cultural.

Question 4: According to modern anthropology, what primarily determines sex-linked roles and statuses?

A. Anatomy and physiology of human males and females

B. Cultural phenomena

C. Innate biological tendencies

D. Demographic, technological, economic, and ecological conditions

Explanation: The study materials state, 'Since differences in the anatomy and physiology of human males and females are so obvious it is easy to be misled into believing that sex-linked roles and statuses are primarily biological rather than cultural phenomena.' This indicates modern anthropology views them as primarily cultural. It also explicitly refutes innate tendencies by stating 'Males are not born with an innate tendency to be hunters or warriors' and 'Nor are women born with an innate tendency to care for infants and children.' While demographic, technological, economic, and ecological conditions influence the *emergence* of new cultural definitions, the primary determinant of existing sex-linked roles and statuses is cultural phenomena.
