Physiognomies in movement.Cultural traits & occupational changes.

Summary/Abstract: Human nature, culture, is inextricably associated with biological nature, with the biological, in a way that makes them inseparable. Neither can be ignored, neither is above the other, and neither can be put aside except for reasons pertaining to a research strategy.There is a network of relations between the cultural and the biological, a dense and complex system of relationships. This system of relations has not yet been fully revealed.It is an honourable challenge for modern-day anthropology to highlight, even partially, this system that gives human meaning to our species.The urban environment has its particularities, various factors that can stimulate or block the uninterrupted process of human becoming, or even reverse the direction of the process. A comparison can be made with the rural environment.Somewhere in the area of inter-human communication, physiognomy is also featured, as a non-verbal element involved in communication. The face is the mirror of the soul. If the soul is in pain, in complete resignation, in the vicinity of joy or serenity, all these feelings are communicated to others via the features of the face. We communicate with the soul. The question that might be asked, even on a historical scale, is: What happens to our faces from one historical period to another?
