THE FIRST ANTHROPOLOGICAL PARADIGM: EVOLUTIONISM

The scientific paradigm of the nineteenth century

Anthropology arises in a CONTEXT characterized by great historical events: the FRENCH REVOLUTION first and the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION later. These revolutions marked a profound change in economic, social and political relations in Europe and later in the rest of the world.

THE FEUDAL REGIME AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES (THE CLERGY, THE NOBILITY) WERE LOSING THEIR POWER AND A NEW CLASS, THE BOURGEOISIE, WHICH HAD ASSUMED ECONOMIC CONTROL IN THE NEW REGIME, WAS ESTABLISHED POLITICALLY

THESE CHANGES WERE resisted and fought by those sectors that saw their privileges in danger.

THE OLD LEADER CLASSES WILL TRY TO GO BACK TO THE PAST THROUGH THE REVALUATION OF POPULAR TRADITIONS AND NATIONAL VALUES

THE PUBLICATION OF Darwin's work, The Origin of Species (1859) produced a revolution in the field of natural sciences. This theory about the evolution of living beings introduced consequences in other scientific fields.

Anthropology and evolutionism

THE IDEA OF EVOLUTION WAS ASSIMILATED TO MAN AND SOCIETIES, UNDERSTOOD AS DIFFERENT STAGES OF HUMANITY. MAN, UNLIKE OTHER SPECIES, WAS A DUAL BEING: AS A BODY, HE BELONGED TO THE WORLD OF NATURE; AS A SPIRIT, HE BELONGED TO THE WORLD OF CULTURE. THIS IS THE FIRST APPROACH TO THE NOTION OF CULTURE, WHICH IS
