Anthropology belongs among the sciences in far more senses than the obvious one that it sits on the National Research Council and on the Social Science Research Council. From the moment of its professional beginnings just about a hundred years ago, it has phrased the problems it investigated and has adopted conceptual schemes according to patterns which belong to the scientific tradition of Western Civilization of the past century. It borrowed some of its early concepts, such as that of evolution or of the single localized origin of civilization, directly from phylogenetic concepts of biology, and it has attempted in all its serious work to arrive at objective, theoretical, generalized descriptions of reality
