Excerpt from University of California Publications in History, Vol. 4Yet when I say that anthropology is a young science I mean no more than this, that in the unfolding of that full bloom of rational culture, which sprang from the seeds of the Renais sance, and of which we are the heirs and trustees, anthropology found its place in the sunlight later than most, and almost alone among the sciences can reckon any of its founders among the living. This was of course partly an accident of birth and cir cumstance, for in the House of Wisdom there are many man sions, a Virchow, a Bastian, or a Tylor might easily have strayed through the gate of knowledge into other fields Of work, just as Locke and Montesquieu only narrowly missed the trail into anthropology.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
