Work Step by Step

Diffusion can create both cultural hearths and cultural domains. Cultural hearths are places where specific cultural innovations, practices, or ideas originate and spread outward. These hearths act as sources of cultural influence. Cultural domains, on the other hand, refer to broader regions or areas where particular cultural traits or practices are dominant, often influenced by diffusion from cultural hearths. Cultural hearths are the points of origin, while cultural domains represent the broader areas where the cultural traits have spread and become prevalent.
