The Making of British Anthropology, 1813-1871
Author: Efram Sera-Shriar
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822981734
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
Victorian anthropology has been derided as an "armchair practice," distinct from the scientific discipline of the twentieth century. But the observational practices that characterized the study of human diversity developed from the established sciences of natural history, geography and medicine. Sera-Shriar argues that anthropology at this time went through a process of innovation which built on scientifically grounded observational study. Far from being an evolutionary dead end, nineteenth-century anthropology laid the foundations for the field-based science of anthropology today.

The Anthropological Treatises of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach
Author: Johann Friedrich Blumenbach
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781108080118
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
This compilation, published in 1865 and edited by Thomas Bendyshe, consists of three translated works by the German anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), two memoirs of Blumenbach, and an account of the museum of specimens he had accumulated at Göttingen. The final item is an inaugural dissertation delivered in 1775 by John Hunter, an army surgeon, on the varieties of man. It is of interest because it anticipated by a few months some of Blumenbach's own published theories, which divided the races of man into five distinct types (Caucasian, Mongolian, Malayan, Ethiopian and American), chiefly on the basis of cranial measurements, of the importance of which he was the first exponent. Blumenbach began his career as a physician, and moved towards comparative anatomy, but he is best remembered for his work in physical anthropology: both the first (1775) and third (1795) editions of his major work are given here.

The Hanoverian Dimension in British History, 1714–1837
Author: Brendan Simms
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139461877
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
For more than 120 years (1714–1837) Great Britain was linked to the German Electorate, later Kingdom, of Hanover through Personal Union. This made Britain a continental European state in many respects, and diluted her sense of insular apartness. The geopolitical focus of Britain was now as much on Germany, on the Elbe and the Weser as it was on the Channel or overseas. At the same time, the Hanoverian connection was a major and highly controversial factor in British high politics and popular political debate. This volume was the first systematically to explore the subject by a team of experts drawn from the UK, US and Germany. They integrate the burgeoning specialist literature on aspects of the Personal Union into the broader history of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain. Never before had the impact of the Hanoverian connection on British politics, monarchy and the public sphere, been so thoroughly investigated.
