Example of this ability

Levi-strauss is a perfect example of how the human is capable of seeing a elaboratr structure and defining and being capable of knowing what the underlying purpose of the mecanism is:

"His work is where observations of anthropology are used to support a rule that is universal, a rule that comes from the very structure of the mind, that works itself as a rule into society, that is seen in structures, and which allows society to function. From anthropological surface observation, one goes back to structures, rules and then fundamentals of mentality - oppositions."
