Considering Tylor's definition of culture, which of the following represents the most complex interplay between acquired habits and societal membership?
- The aesthetic appreciation of Paleolithic cave paintings, emphasizing the inherent human capacity for artistic expression divorced from functional societal roles.
- The evolution of a legal system that incorporates both customary law and codified statutes, reflecting changing social norms while maintaining structural stability. (correct)

Assuming a neo-Tylorian perspective, how would you analyze the impact of digital algorithms on contemporary social structures?
- Algorithms are merely tools that reinforce existing social hierarchies, reflecting pre-existing cultural biases without fundamentally transforming societal dynamics.
- Algorithms represent a purely technological advancement, devoid of cultural significance, as they operate independently of human belief systems and moral codes.
- Algorithms function as a modern form of 'social habit,' shaping behaviors and beliefs through feedback loops, thereby redefining norms and customs within digital societies. (correct)

In what way does the anthropological assessment of 'material culture' fundamentally challenge purely economic interpretations of artifact valuation?
