Episode 3 (Part 1): The Origins of Anthropology - up until the 1950’s

Following up on their first episode, Origin Stories, Gill, Lulu and Kelsey delve into the "origins" of anthropology and archaeology. Where does archaeology start and anthropology end? What nefarious deeds did Napoleon commit in Egypt? Who is Franz Boas? What's that darned name of the guy who also had the idea of evolution at the same time as Charles Darwin?

Find out the answers to these questions and more in Part 1 of Pertaining to People's third episode! Part 1 covers the history of anthropology and archaeology up until ca. 1950, and Part 2 will cover 1950 until the present. Happy listening!
