Centralisation of Anthropological Studies

Abstract

THE centralisation of anthropological studies in Great Britain, to which attention is directed in NATURE, July 22, pp. 113–5, is no new problem. Beginning with the fusion in 1871 of the old Anthropological and Ethnological Societies to form what is now the Royal Anthropological Institute, there have been several attempts to co-ordinate and improve the provision, both for research and for teaching, in this wide and complicated group of studies. There is a summary of them in the Institute's Journal, vol. 59, 1929, under the title “The Science of Man in the Service of the State”.
