Folk culture
Traditionally practiced by small, isolated, homogeneous groups in rural areas

Where cultures are located in space
How cultures interact with the environment

20. Why Is Folk Culture Clustered?
Influence of the physical environment
Folk culture = close connection to the environment
Most folk cultures are rural and agricultural
Clothing is often tied to environmental conditions
Example: Wooden clogs in the Netherlands
Folk cultures can ignore environmental conditions, they assimilate within the environment. Human interaction within their surroundings.

21. Why Is Folk Culture Clustered?
Influence of the physical environment
Food preferences and the environment
Food preferences are adapted to the environment
Example: In Asia, rice is grown in milder, wetter environments whereas wheat is grown in colder, drier environments
Food taboos may be especially strong
People avoid certain foods because of negative associations with that food
Terroir = the sum effects of the local environment on a particular food item/ plants food of the place ex cocoa

23. West Malaysia: Since all animals are considered to possess spirits, many Orang Asli will start their weaned children of more than 4 years of age on small animals: fish, frogs, toads, small birds and water snails. When the child gets a bit older, rats and mice can be added to the list of edible species.
At 20 years of age the human spirit is deemed to be strong enough to successfully compete with the spirits of small monkeys, bat species, cats, anteaters, deer, turtle, larger birds, and even the Malayan bear. Later in age snakes, gibbons, and bigger animals, including the elephant, no longer remain taboo.
Pregnant women have strict food taboos to observe and must restrict themselves to rats, squirrels, frogs, toads, smaller birds and fishes, that is animals which are small and thought to possess "weak" spirits. Moreover, rodents may be eaten only if caught by the pregnant woman's husband or a near relative and she must eat the whole rodent by herself. Fish must also be caught by a near relative (but never with a spear or with the help of explosives).
