Descripción
This extensive publication is divided into three thematic sections. The author traces the development of thought from antiquity to the emergence of anthropology as an independent scientific discipline, examines human evolution as a species on the basis of fossil discoveries, and describes the division of anthropology into numerous specialised fields in the 20th century. The final section addresses the danger of anthropological knowledge being misused in racist theories.
