I discuss cultural diffusion, how how cultures spread over time.
This is important to understanding why cultures change over time and recognize it when you see it historically or contemporarily.
We discuss forced, direct, and indirect diffusion. These are the Mechanisms with which cultural diffusion happens.
I then break down cultural diffusion to the five types, expansion diffusion, relocation diffusion, hierarchical diffusion, contagious diffusion, Stimulus Diffusion.

https://amzn.to/3TJOARA"American Nations" - Cultural history of the US focused on distinct cultural areas and their affects. Link: https://amzn.to/3P6lTwn
The three big anthropology books I recommend :
"Guns, Germs and Steel" - https://amzn.to/3qI271S
"Dawn of Everything" Graeber/Wengrow - culturally left wing big (pop) anthropology/history book. Good for diversity of thought, many good references here. - https://amzn.to/47Fl6uH
"Sapiens" - Globalist/WEF but a decent take to understand their position. -https://amzn.to/47FEW95
Other reccomendations:
"The Korean War" -Bruce Cummings, history of colonization of Korea and the context of the nationalist/communist wars of East Asia. - https://amzn.to/3smlLB3
"Oracle Bones" - Book on China from a journalist's perspective in the 90s, exceptional and if people want to read one book on China I recommend this one. - https://amzn.to/3YOOfzE
"1491" - Mann. So much of what we know about Native Americans is tainted by influence of Europeans (by the time Europeans were writing a lot of stuff down, especially in English 200 years had passed since first contact and almost everyone was dead and the cultures were irrevocably changed, even if they didn't meet Europeans yet). The lost history of pre-Columbian western hemisphere is a glimpse into so many unique cultures that challenge our assumptions of human nature as well as history. - https://amzn.to/45luIsM

Indigenous cultures often have hallucinogenic traditions, from Meso-America, to Africa, the Pacific, and indigenous Europe. The United States, Spain, and Japan, just as diverse, all drink similar amounts of coffee while being very different cultures. Why do these cultures that differ so much share these traits, and what do these, and the use of other drugs tell us about the values and customs of a culture?

I’m Sam and this is the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast. The weekly cultural anthropology and history podcast that tries to make sense of our senseless world through indigenous and historical examples, academic methods in social science, and a perspective not limited by the crushing restrictions that come with traditional academia and public schools.
Today we are going to find out the similarities in a few indigenous hallucinogenic traditions, and why these similar traditions thrived in these very different cultures. Then, what makes alcohol tied to settled life. What makes alcohol give way to caffeine as the main drug of the west, and what are the consequences of this shift are. Finally, what the drugs of the last few decades have to say about the state of our modern culture.
