"Anthropology" by A. L. Kroeber is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the field of anthropology, encompassing the study of humankind and their various cultures, languages, physical traits, and historical backgrounds. Kroeber aims to explore the intricate relationship between biological and cultural factors that shape human existence and diversity. The opening of the text introduces the scope and significance of anthropology as a distinct scientific discipline. Kroeber emphasizes the necessity to understand both organic and social elements in human life, citing the interplay of heredity and tradition. He critiques the limitations of previous methodologies in anthropology, arguing for a more integrated approach that acknowledges both biological and cultural influences. Through this framework, Kroeber sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of humanity, laying the groundwork for the subsequent chapters that will delve deeper into fossil records, race origins, and the foundations of civilization.
