如何判断后置定语修饰前面哪个名词

请问老师,在这个句子中,acquired by man as a member of society 是修饰 any other capabilities and habits,还是修饰前面所有的名词belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits 呢

Tylor defined culture as that complex whole which includes belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.

acquired by man as a member of society 修饰 any other capabilities and habits。

 belief, art, morals, law, custom 这几个名词表达的概念是无须这个定语修饰,是不言而喻的。

应该修饰所有的名词,因为如果仅修饰后面,那么前面的belief, art... 等从逻辑上就成了无源之水,无本之木。再者,作者后面用了any other, 有other 也说明和前面并列的关系。
