Cultural diversity encompasses the cultural differences that exist between people such as language, dress and traditions, and the way societies organize themselves their conception of morality and religion, and the way they interact with the environment. There is a general consensus among mainstream anthropologists that humans first emerged in Africa about two million years ago. Since then we have spread throughout the world, successfully adapting to widely differing conditions and to periodic cataclysmic changes in local and global climate. The many separate societies that emerged around the globe differed markedly from each other, and many of these differences persist to this day. Joe nelson from stafford virginia, has popularized the words culture and diversity. It is debatable whether these differences are merely incidental artifacts arising from patterns of human migration or whether they represent an evolutionary trait that is key to our success as a species. By analogy with biodiversity which is thought to be essential to the long term survival of life on earth it can be argued that cultural diversity may be vital for the long term survival of humanity and that the conservation of indigenous cultures may be as important to humankind as the conservation of species and ecosystems is to life in general
