Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Anthropology: Its Scope and Aims; Its History and Present Status in the United States The publication in a book form of the articles that follow and which originally appeared in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, is to provide the student of anthropology in this country, in a handy form, with something that will assist him in laying the needed foundations for his chosen work, and in becoming acquainted with American anthropological bibliography. Organized progress in any branch of science is possible only when the field of that branch becomes well defined. But a definition to be of value must in a large measure be based on experience, and that not on individual but on the collective experience of the workers in that line. The history of a given branch of science thus becomes one of the essentials to the proper comprehension of the scope, objects and demarcations of that branch. These are the reasons for the association of the chapters on The Scope and Aims of Physical Anthropology with those on its History. The history here dealt with applies essentially to the United States and Canada. To extend it to Anthropology in all parts of the American continent and eventually all parts of the world where more or less development of the science has been realized, would be a most desirable task, but it is a task that can only be carried out through cooperation. Abroad something has already been done in this direction, particularly in France, the mother-country of physical anthropology (e.g., by Paul Topinard in his Elem. d'Anthrop. gen.); but no systematic effort extending to all civilized countries has as yet been attempted. Such an effort should be one of the first cares of the international Committee, Board, or Association of Anthropologists, towards the realization of which we are progressing. The text as now printed includes a number of corrections on matters called to the attention of the writer by correspondents. It is provided with a new detailed index to facilitate reference. And it is supplemented by the portraits of the men to whom American anthropology is most indebted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Horizons of Anthropology by : Sol Tax
Download or read book Horizons of Anthropology written by Sol Tax and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scientific study of human evolution and culture is about a hundred years old. This volume surveys its achievements and methods. Originally published more than forty years ago, the volume's contributors include people who have shaped anthropology's future. As Gluckman says in his Preface, the contributions "point to the horizons of increasing understanding of man, his evolution and his social setting, as seen by a rising generation of scholars." The book includes chapters on how man gradually became different from other primates--on the origin and nature of language and its contribution to our peculiarities as human beings. It surveys the long history of human culture and societies and the theories about their similarities and differences; it discusses human equality and inequality, and it considers, from the anthropologist's point of view, economics, politics, law, religion, medicine, and the arts. In recent decades the various branches of anthropology--physical, cultural, psychological, and social--have become more specialized, and each branch is increasingly linking itself to its appropriate cognate, biological, psychological, or social sciences. Yet there remains a central common field to anthropology, as the science of man, for practitioners in all its branches. This book develops that common interest and deals with the specific problems of various parts of the field. The book brings out the basic nature of anthropology and the extraordinary fascination that lies in the systematic study of the exuberant variety of human societies and customs.

Book Synopsis A Guide to Careers in Physical Anthropology by : Alan S. Ryan
Download or read book A Guide to Careers in Physical Anthropology written by Alan S. Ryan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-12-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of physical anthropology deals with issues that everyone thinks about and cares about: our origins, our evolutionary history, and why we look and act the way we do. The field has benefited greatly by increased attention from the media, from popular books, and from several television series. There is a multitude of topics considered by physical anthropologists, including human and primate origins, primate societies, growth and development, genetics, forensic science, and nutrition. Most physical anthropology graduate students have traditionally aspired to research and/or teaching careers at a university. However, during the last decade there has been an increased interest in non-traditional careers outside the ivory tower, primarily because the number of new physical anthropology Ph.D.s exceeds the number of jobs available in anthropology departments. Because physical anthropology encompasses a variety of research interests, students are broadly trained and have a wealth of talents and skills that make them competitive for non-academic careers. However, pursuing opportunities outside the academy requires thoughtful planning and training. This collection serves as a reference for students contemplating a career in physical anthropology within or outside the academy. Several rewarding career paths that physical anthropologists have chosen are described. Students will understand how anthropological theory, methods, and training are applicable to job responsibilities and career development. This book will also help departments of anthropology design coursework and training programs that will make their students more competitive. In sum, the future of anthropology seems promising given the discipline's broad scope and concern for issues faced by contemporary society, and physical anthropologists will be playing an increased role in many arenas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Anthropology: Its Scope and Aims; Its History and Present Status in the United States An understanding of whatsoever exists, formulated and preserved in memory or in writing, is knowledge; and systematic search for knowl edge, on the basis of existing foundations of learning, is science. Being of the utmost utility, science constitutes the most important intel lectual function of mankind. A branch of science may be defined as a portion of systematized research that extends to closely related phenomena and has become the special function of a class of qualified observers. One of the most interesting and far-reaching of such branches is Anthropology. This has been frequently but somewhat vaguely defined as the science of man; perhaps a more fitting definition would be the comparative science of man, for its main characteristic, the criterium in fact, which differentiates it from many closely related branches of science, is that of comparison. More specifically Anthropology may also be defined as that portion of systematic research which deals with the differences, and causes of the differences, in structure, in function, and in all other manifestations of mankind, according to time, variety, place, and condition.
