History of Anthropology

It took more than a century for anthropology to become a discipline. Questions such as what is culture, what are the characteristics of human societies, why are the differences and similarities of human societies important, determined the research route of the intellectuals who founded the discipline. History of Anthropology explains what anthropology is, how culture should be defined, and how the difference between the definitions determines the characteristics of the discipline. It deals with the journey of the discipline of anthropology from Continental Europe to America, the discussions that took place during this journey, the academics who were party to the discussions and the questions asked by these academics.

It reveals the problems faced by the discipline, the important junctions in the history of anthropology, and the discussions of the founding intellectuals who determined these junctions. History of Anthropology is a rare reference source not only for researchers in the discipline, but also for readers who are curious about what anthropology is and its impact on social sciences.
