A History of Anthropology Quotes

“Like all the leading anthropologists of the day, the evolutionists subscribed to the principle of the ‘psychic unity of mankind’, first formulated by the German cultural historian Adolf Bastian.

This principle states that human beings everywhere belong to the same biological species, and genetic differences between cultures are cosmetic. In fact, the entire anthropological project rests on this tenet.”
― Thomas Hylland Eriksen, A History of Anthropology
