What is the ideal scope of anthropology?
Anthropology is the whole history of man as fired and pervaded by the idea of
evolution. Man in evolution — that is the subject in its full reach.
Anthropology studies man as he occurs at all known times. It studies him as he
occurs in all known parts of the world. It studies him body and soul
together—as a bodily organism, subject to conditions operating in time and
space, which bodily organism is in intimate relation with a soul-life, also
subject to those same conditions. Having an eye to such conditions from first
to last, it seeks to plot out the general series of the changes, bodily and
mental together, undergone by man in the course of his history. Its business
is simply to describe. But, without exceeding the limits of its scope, it can
and must proceed from the particular to the general; aiming at nothing less
than a descriptive formula that shall sum up the whole series of changes in
which the evolution of man consists.
