History [URL=http://www.rcamb.com.au]cheap ralph lauren[/URL] of anthropology
Anthropology is often defined as a branch of science that studies human beings.The study of anthropology covers a vast scope including the human body, human evolution, biology, and even genetics.Modern anthropology has been divided into 4 different branches, namely, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, archeology and anthropological linguistics.

Even though anthropology, as a discipline of study, did not appear until the 16th century, many philosophers, like aristotle, were conducting studies of anthropological nature as early as the 4th century bc.However, independent work, research, or any kind of study that was solely based on anthropology was never carried out till about the 9th century ad.Most of the early philosophers who carried anthropology related research were greek, like herodotus in 500 bc, aristotle in 400 bc and strabo in 100 bc.In the bc era, roman philosophers like lucretius made significant contributions to anthropology, while in the ad era, noted roman philosophers like tacitus, aquinas and polo were the ones to significantly contribute to the field of anthropology.

Historians of anthropology often claim that anthropology as a discipline originated during, and due to, the period in history known as the renaissance.It is also believed that anthropology evolved due to the other disciplines like social and cultural sciences, archeology, sociology and history.

The term ’anthropology’ was coined in 16th century germany, by german university professors.In those times, anthropology was not studied as a pure or different discipline, but was understood to be the systematic examination and observation of the evolution of man as a physical and moral being.Two other english researchers, who also contributed to the study, were john locke and david hume.The german philosopher immanuel kant, and the dutch philosopher baruch spinoza, were counted among the early fathers of anthropology.

The most revolutionizing works in anthropology were [URL=http://www.rcamb.com.au]cheap ralph lauren[/URL] written by charles darwin.He wrote the voyage of the beagle, that was published in 1845 ad, and on the origin of species, that appeared in 1859 ad.

Another very noted publication on anthropology, written by french naturalist georges buffon, was ’histoire naturelle’.’Histoire Naturelle’ is an encyclopedia in which 2 of the 44 volumes have been dedicated to anthropology.The encyclopedia was published between 1749 to 1804.In these two sections buffon has assumed that man is not a social animal but is a zoological creature.This assumption gave the field of anthropology a new dimension of research.

The german anthropologist, johann f.Blumenbach, played a highly instrumental role in the development of the branch of anthropology known as physical anthropology.

Modern day anthropology has been highly influenced by the works of american cultural anthropologist, margaret mead, during the middle of the 20th century.

The developing technological [URL=http://www.rcamb.com.au]ralph lauren online cheap[/URL] sciences and developments in research techniques has helped anthropologists all over the world to piece together the journey of mankind.Today, many anthropologists are trying to find out the location and origins of mankind and civilization.Modern anthropology has also facilitated historians to find solutions for some of the unanswered questions about the origin of man and the human history.

I want a brief explanation of the development of anthropology in contrast with enlightenment, french revolution, renaissance, rationality and knowledge.
