Abstract
THIS is a fascinating little volume, and deals in a masterly manner with the history of anthropology in so far as that can be done within the compass of some 150 pages. Anthropology is now so vast a subject that it is necessary for the individual student, if he wishes to become a specialist, to confine his attention to a comparatively small fraction of the whole, and very often the specialist in one department knows little or nothing of what has been done in other departments. To such specialists this short history will be of the greatest value, and the science of anthropology as a whole will benefit by the coordination of results obtained in different departments.
History of Anthropology.
By Dr. A. C. Haddon, with the help of A. H. Quiggin. Pp. x + 158. (London: Watts and Co., 1910.) Price 1s. net.
