(p. 19)Therefore, if culture is learned, its ultimate locus must in individuals rather than in groups. If we accept this, then cultural theory must explain in what sense we can speak of culture as being shared or as the property of groups at all, and it must explain what the processes are by which 'sharing' arises.
