The term culture has several different meanings, but often refers to the typical set of beliefs, customs, traditions, values, norms, knowledge, art, cuisine, dress, language, religion, technologies, and so on, that characterize a particular society or group.

Especially after the rise of Boasian anthropology and political correctness, culture has been seen as something completely unrelated to genetics/race and instead being completely learned. This view has increasing evidence against it, such as by the some of the findings mentioned in the article Other race differences.
