Summary "Anthropology: A Lecture Delivered at Columbia University in the Series on Science, Philosophy and Art" by Franz Boas is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive overview of the field of anthropology, focusing on the diverse aspects of human life across different geographical and social environments. It discusses how various biological, geographical, and psychological factors influence human traits and behaviors. In the lecture, Boas articulates the significant challenges faced by anthropologists as they seek to unite the various strands of the discipline under a cohesive framework. He explores the origins and development of human types both physically and mentally, highlighting the importance of cultural evolution and environmental influences on societies. By examining primitive tribes lacking written history and the complex interplay of social organizations, beliefs, and inventions across cultures, Boas argues for an understanding of humanity that embraces diversity. He emphasizes the need for an objective study of anthropology that transcends historical narratives, positioning it as a vital science for comprehending human behavior and societal evolution.
