Description :

Anthropology by R.R. Marett is a pioneering work that lays the foundation for modern anthropological thought. First published in the early 20th century, Marett’s work explores the nature of human societies, culture, and belief systems, contributing significantly to the development of social anthropology.

Marett focuses on the understanding of primitive religions, magic, and the psychological aspects of human behavior, emphasizing the importance of studying cultural practices and rituals to understand the evolution of societies. His exploration of animism, the belief in spiritual beings and forces in nature, presents a critical view of the way early humans made sense of the world around them.

Anthropology offers readers a comprehensive introduction to the study of human cultures and their development, making it an essential text for those interested in the foundations of anthropology and the study of human societies.
