Focusing on the concept of primitive culture, this treatise by Franz Boas critically examines and challenges prevailing racist notions of intellect in early 20th-century society. As a foundational work in anthropology, it reflects Boas's pioneering ideas and contributions to the field. The modern edition includes a new biography of the author, making it a valuable resource for anthropology students and a significant addition to related literature collections. This work highlights Boas's enduring influence as the "Father of American Anthropology."
