Answer to Question 1

It is a theoretical perspective concerned with applying the insights of Marxist thought to anthropology; neo-Marxists modify Marxist analysis to make it appropriate to the study of small-scale, non-Western societies. This approach focuses on sources of conflict and struggle.

Answer to Question 2

Cows serve a greater material value by being kept alive and not eaten because they provide dung for fertilizer and fuel, draft labor, and also work to reproduce more cows.
