"Anthropology" by Daniel G. Brinton is a scholarly work that champions anthropology as a vital science and an essential component of university education in the United States. It underscores the importance of studying humanity to unlock deeper insights into civilization and human nature and advocates its central role in academic institutions. The book examines anthropology's multiple areas—Somatology, Ethnology, Ethnography, and Archæology—to provide a holistic view of human life, encompassing physical traits, social systems, population distribution, and historical legacies. Brinton makes a case for hands-on training in anthropology, championing labs, on-site research, and an enhanced dedication to scientific inquiry to empower students. By advocating for a structured curriculum and specialized university departments, the book emphasizes the expanding acknowledgment of anthropology's contribution to understanding societies and human actions.
