Human Systems
Alternative Anthropology is based upon a human systems framework, that is part of and derived from the larger framework of natural systems theory and metasystems methodologies. The study of human systems and metasystems is rooted in human systems theory and is especially challenging given the standpoint that human systems are central to the knowledge of all other systesm, of all kinds of systems, and that we are both natural and aritificial systems at the same time.
Human systems are the most intelligent systems that are known so far in the universe. There is a slight possibility that we are the only or most intelligent system to exist in the universe. This being said, it is also the case that our intelligence is not without limit or weakness, and that it is prone to certain dilemmas, disease and dysfunction that can lead to behavioral maladaptiveness and destuctive behavior.
