The Sorting of Humanity

Which criteria are we sorting ourselves and each other by? Connecting Human Differentiation with Systems Theory, Anthropology, and Social Complexity. Human differentiation encompasses human classification and categorization processes that we encounter on a daily basis. Klaus Behnam Shad offers a new framework of human differentiation that emphasizes social complexity and intersectionality. Uniquely integrating systems theory with political, psychological, and biological anthropology, this systemic-anthropological approach firmly rejects culturalizing, moralizing, and ideologizing stances that claim a supposed superiority. This provides valuable insights into group-based differentiation processes that would otherwise remain inscrutable.
