| Summary | "History of Anthropology" by Alfred C. Haddon and A. Hingston Quiggin is a scholarly historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as one of the first attempts to chronicle the development of anthropology, exploring its various branches and the contributions of foundational figures in the field. The book likely addresses both the evolution of anthropological thought and the significant debates that have shaped the discipline over time. At the start of the book, the authors express their hesitance in presenting a comprehensive history of anthropology, acknowledging the vastness of the subject and the challenges inherent in selecting which key figures and concepts to include. They introduce the allegory of a waste lot transforming into a factory to illustrate the growth of anthropological knowledge from chaos to coherence. The opening portion also emphasizes the importance of both fieldwork and theoretical contributions, mentioning notable pioneers such as Aristotle, Hippocrates, and Vesalius who laid the groundwork for the scientific study of humanity. Their aim is to provide a structured overview while recognizing the complexities and ongoing debates within anthropology. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
