    Culture affects biology in several ways. Human bodies are altered to fit cultural norms around beauty and physiology. For example, the Mursi women wear lip plates and Chinese women once bound their feet. Culture also helps humans adapt and survive - things like igloos and tipis allowed Inuit and Native American cultures to address environmental challenges. However, culture can also become maladaptive if the environment changes and culture does not, like issues arising from car culture in the Philippines. Culture is also dynamic and constantly changing as human needs change over time and in response to their surroundings.
