history of Anthropology
In the history of anthropology I have learned many new theories I have never known before, there are a great many objectives and thoughts that I had never even knew existed before. Learning about the history of anthropology has opened my mind of thinking in all these different schools of thoughts. One thing that has shocked me is that I have learned the early evolutionists had never done fieldwork, but would make assumptions. The person that has shocked me the most is the theories Herbert Spencer. He saw the different classes of the British Empire and he wanted to know how to classify them, which is normal. He came up with a cellular difference, the rich have intelligent cells and the poor have sex cells, this seems ridiculous to me. Spencer says the only thing that should matter to the poor is survival of the fittest, why waste public mon
In previous Anthropology classes I have had, there was little or no mention of this name. She has written books about the teenage girls on the island of Samoa. The next thing that has surprised me is the progress that appears after the enlightenment. The right way out of the poor to Spencer is suicide. He was a naturalist studying the color of seawater in the Baltic Sea. By learning more and more about it you can either clear your head or just confuse it, which is for the person to decide. From studying this he stumbled into Anthropology and has made it a growing social science. Condorlet wrote mankind is perfectible and can progress through the expression of genius. ey and health benefits on them when they don't do anything. Condorlet's theory makes sense, but what can he say about the rest of the people? Not everyone can be a Leonardo Da Vinci. Malthus says Condorlet was wrong, he says humanity will go down because of consumption, like food. Considering he is called the father of Anthropology and he created the four sub-fields I thought I would have know more about him from previous classes. One of his early students was Margaret Mead. This was kind of funny, because Anthropologist's had split views, which made the crossfire more interesting. In addition, he also formally invented ethnographies and doing fieldwork, which is a big step in Anthropology because nowadays all Anthropologists do fieldwork.
