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 

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, other 也说明和前面并列的关系。
