Early Anthropology in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth CenturiesUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 16.09.2011 - 528 Seiten Although social sciences such as anthropology are often thought to have been organized as academic specialties in the nineteenth century, the ideas upon which these disciplines were founded actually developed centuries earlier. In fact, the foundational concepts can be traced at least as far back as the sixteenth century, when contact with unfamiliar peoples in the New World led Europeans to create ways of describing and understanding social similarities and differences among humans. |
