History Of Anthropology

By: Alfred C. Haddon & A. Hingston Quiggin

Excerpt from Preface:It is with great diffidence that we offer this little book to the public, it being, so far as we are aware, the first attempt at a history of Anthropology. A book of small size which deals with so vast a subject, comprising, as it docs, so many different studies, cannot satisfy the specialists in the several departments. In many branches the investigations are so recent that they can hardly be said to have a history, and in some cases their originators arc still alive. Doubtless many will criticize the amount of space allocated to certain authors, and wonder why others have been omitted or have received but scanty recognition. All we can say in extenuation of our selection is that the task has been by no means an easy one, and we have partly been guided by the fact that our readers will mainly be of British nationality.
