There is a mania, it seems, in trying to dissect functions, ideas, processes etc. down into some heiracrchial structure in assuming that the WHOLE can be understood by separately examining the parts.

A very good book throws significant doubt on this manuever called The Tao of Physics in how the WHOLE affects the parts rather than vice versa.

It is a strong principle to have at your side in understanding a race.
