Step 1: Franz Boas' Theory

Franz Boas' main theory was cultural relativism, which holds that all cultures are equally valid and should be understood on their own terms. He rejected the idea that European cultures were superior to non-European cultures. He also believed that human behavior was shaped by both biology and culture, and that the environment and social conditions could contribute to differences between populations.
