The variation in language, physical appearance, cultural mores and traditions are extraordinary, with differing behavioral standards and practices unique to each. Though dealing with a formidable subject of global scope, the author proceeds with determination and intellectual rigor, demonstrating how geographic disparity, variations in climate, and divergent psychology resulted in distinct cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFamous for challenging existing views, including those of eugenics and white supremacy, \u003cem\u003eThe Mind of Primitive Man\u003c\/em\u003e became a foundational text of modern anthropologic science. Its well-argued topics, rooted in the author's voracious study and experience, contradicted existing theories and assumptions of nature versus nurture, and the relationship between environment and human intelligence. For his part, Boas held out hope that anthropology would form a role in education, increasing tolerance for the differences between cultures, and acknowledgement of the value all have contributed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 02, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978232463661,"sku":"9781789873122","price":21.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/c0hack1IT3ZOMjZyaldOdHU5TGQvdz09.webp?v=1775801165","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-mind-of-primitive-man-the-classic-of-anthropology-hereditary-characteristics-linguistic-and-cultural-traits-of-the-human-races-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
