Summary:
A century ago, everyone knew that people were defined by their race and sex, by birth and biology. But Franz Boas looked at the data and decided everyone was wrong. He proposed that cultures did not exist on a continuum from primitive to advanced. Instead, every society solves the same basic problems-- from childrearing to how to live well-- with its own set of rules, beliefs, and taboos. Boas's students mapped vanishing civilizations from the Arctic to the South Pacific and overturned the relationship between biology and behavior. Their work reshaped how we think of women and men, normalcy and deviance, and re-created our place in a world of many cultures and value systems. -- adapted from jacket
