A suggested institute of human sciences

ABSTRACT IN the human sciences—those sciences which deal with the origin, the characters (physical, mental, and moral), and the activities of man: in other words, the anthropological


sciences in the broadest sense of the term—co-ordination and cooperation are more essential than in almost any other branch of scientific research. This is due partly to the extent of the


ground covered, and partly to the character of the subject-matter, which is frequently based upon a mass of data collected from a wide area. This necessity for co-operation, acting in


conjunction with man's perennial interest in himself and his past, has led to the formation of a host of societies, each dealing with one or more branches of the subject. Some cover


certain special aspects only—archæological, sociological, linguistic, psychological, and the like; others study man on a regional basis, and of these some cover the whole field more or less


completely, as in the case of Asia and Africa; while still others confine themselves almost entirely to the archaeological aspect, as in the case of the societies which deal with Egypt,


Palestine, and the Mediterranean area. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through
