An omnibus treasury of writings on the science of man--anthropological studies comprising significant writings of the field's pioneering scientists, from Darwin, Huxley, Malinowski, and Fraser, to Boas, Benedict, Pearson, Morgan, and many others.
"I have desired to give the reader an insight into the development of thinking concerning man, his origin and evolution, during the last two centuries," writes Ashley Montagu in the introduction to Frontiers in Anthropology, a landmark work surveying two hundred years of important research into the nature and accomplishments of man. Striving for selections not readily available elsewhere, Montagu has rescued from neglect many crucial pieces of writing. Containing a wealth of information on a perpetually fascinating area of human knowledge, this anthology of important scientific thought is certain to be an indispensable reference work for student, scholar, and layman alike.
