About this audiobook
In "The Mind of Primitive Man," Boas delves into the diversity of human cultures, examining their languages, customs, beliefs, and social organizations. He emphasizes the fundamental equality of human capacities across all cultures, debunking theories of racial hierarchy prevalent in the early 20th century. Boas argues that cultural differences arise from environmental factors and historical contingencies rather than innate racial characteristics. His work laid the foundation for modern cultural anthropology, emphasizing the importance of fieldwork, empirical observation, and cultural relativism.
