OneNote notebook contains sections, pages, and other notebooks. You can use One-

Syncing a Notebook to the Cloud


OneNote saves your notes every time you make a change in a notebook. To make sure
you can access your notebooks with a laptop, tablet, or smartphone wherever you
are, OneNote uses cloud-based storage, such as OneDrive or SharePoint. Microsoft
OneNote Mobile app, a lightweight version of OneNote 2016 shown in Figure 2, is
available for free in the Windows Store, Google Play for Android devices, and the
AppStore for iOS devices.
If you have a Microsoft account, OneNote saves your notes on OneDrive auto-
matically for all your mobile devices and computers, which is called syncing. For
example, you can use OneNote to take notes on your laptop during class, and then

puter with your OneNote Mobile app, move the notebook to OneDrive. You can
quickly share notebook content with other people using OneDrive.

Converting Handwriting to Text


When you use a pen tool to write on a notebook page, the text you enter is called
inked handwriting. OneNote can convert inked handwriting to typed text when
you use the Ink to Text button in the Convert group on the Draw tab, as shown in
Figure 4. After OneNote converts the handwriting to text, you can use the Search box
to find terms in the converted text or any other note in your notebooks.

INTRODUCTION

In his address to the Anthropological Section of the British


Association in 1892 Professor Alexander Macalister made use of a
little allegory to illustrate the growth and progress of Anthropology.
“On an irregular and unfenced patch of waste land,” he said,
“situated on the outskirts of a small town in which I spent part of my
boyhood, there stood a notice-board bearing the inscription, ‘A Free
Coup,’ which, when translated into the language of the Southron,
conveyed the intimation, ‘Rubbish may be shot here.’ This place,
with its ragged mounds of unconsidered trifles, the refuse of the
surrounding households, was the favourite playground of the
children of the neighbourhood, who found a treasury of toys in the
broken tiles and oyster-shells, the crockery and cabbage-stalks,
which were liberally scattered round.... Passing by this place ten
years later, I found that its aspect had changed; terraces of small
houses had sprung up, mushroom-like, on the unsavoury foundation
of heterogeneous refuse. Still more recently I notice that these in
their turn have been swept away; and now a large factory, wherein
some of the most ingenious productions of human skill are
constructed, occupies the site of the original waste.”
Here we may recognise the three stages in the progress of the
science of Anthropology.
First, a heap of heterogeneous facts and fancies, the leavings of
the historian, of the adventurer, of the missionary—the favourite
playground of dilettanti of various degrees of seriousness. Next we
see order arising out of chaos, and the building-up of a number of
superstructures, bearing the signs of transitoriness and imperfection,
finally to be replaced by the solid fabric of a coherent whole.

In this little book some of the earlier builders on the scrap-heap will
be noted—the Greek philosopher, Aristotle; the Belgian anatomist,
Vesalius; the Englishmen, Tyson and Prichard; the Swede, Linnaeus;
the Frenchman, Buffon; and the German, Blumenbach. These laid
the foundations of the science, and each is claimed as the true
founder of Anthropology. After these the workers become more
numerous and more specialised, and they will be dealt with under
the separate headings of the various branches of the subject in
which they laboured, rather than in a continuous chronological order.
“Meddling with questions of merit or priority is a thorny business at
the best of times,” as Huxley said; and completeness is not here
aimed at. Mention can be made only of those whose work notably
contributed to, or illustrates, the historical growth of the science.
It may be objected that too much attention has been given to the
arm-chair workers, and too little to the labourers in the field. This is
true, especially in the section on Ethnology; but it is necessitated by
the compass of the volume. We attempt a brief sketch of the wood,
and cannot stop to describe the individual trees that compose it.
Detailed investigations, however valuable, have to be merged into
generalisations; and generalisations proceed mainly from the arm-
chairs.
Professor Michael Foster somewhere remarked that “hypothesis is
the salt of science.” The main difficulty with which observers in the
field have to contend is that, as a rule, they can see only what they
look for. When an investigator has left his field and is working up his
results at home, he only too frequently finds that he has omitted to
look for certain customs or beliefs, whose occurrence in other places
he had either over-looked or forgotten. This is the justification for the
questionnaires. It is one of the most important functions of stay-at-
home synthetic students laboriously to cull data from the vast
literature of anthropology, travel, and ancient and modern history,
and to weld them into coherent hypotheses. The student at home in
this way suggests fresh inquiries to the field ethnologist, and a richer
harvest is the result. The most valuable generalisations are made,
however, when the observer is at the same time a generaliser; but
“doubtless,” as Maharbal said to Hannibal after the battle of Cannae,
“the gods have not bestowed everything on the same man. You,
Hannibal, know how to conquer; but you do not know how to use
your victory.”
The vastness of the anthropological sciences and the nebulous
character of their demarcation from other sciences render their
definition or classification a peculiarly difficult matter. Even at the
present day students are not agreed upon the exact terminology and
limitations of the various branches of their subject; but, after all,
these are little more than academic discussions, since investigations
go on irrespective of boundary lines. Those who are really worried
about this “terminological inexactitude” are the cataloguers and
librarians, who frequently are at a loss where to place items in their
catalogues or books on their shelves. It was mainly from this point of
view that Dieserud was constrained to write his Science of
Anthropology: Its Scope and Content.[1] This useful little book deals
very fully in historical order with the questions referred to above, and
it may be recommended to those who are interested in these
somewhat profitless discussions.
1. This is the title on the back of the book. Its designation on the title-page is
given correctly in the Bibliography.

For the convenience of those who require landmarks we here give


the scheme that is roughly followed in this book, which is based
upon the classification recently proposed by the Board of Studies in
Anthropology of the University of London as a guide for the study
and teaching of Anthropology:—
A.—Physical Anthropology (Anthropography, Anthropology of
some writers)
(a) Zoological (somatology, including craniology, etc.).—Man’s
place in Nature as evidenced by the study of
comparative anatomy and physiology, more especially
of the Anthropoidea.
(b) Palæontological.—The antiquity of man as evidenced by
fossil and semi-fossilised remains, including the
geological evidence.
(c) Physiological and Psychological.—The comparative study of
the bodily functions and mental processes.
(d) Ethnological.—The comparative study of the physical
characters which distinguish the various races and
sub-races of man. Classification of the human race in
accordance with physical and psychical characters.
Geographical distribution of the varieties of mankind.
The influence of environment on physique.
B.—Cultural Anthropology (Ethnology of some writers).
(a) Archæological.—The antiquity of man as revealed by the
earliest remains of his handiwork. The prehistoric
periods; their characteristics, sequence, and duration.
The survival of early conditions of culture in later times
(Folklore).
(b) Technological.—The comparative study of arts and
industries; their origin, development, and geographical
distribution.
(c) Sociological.—The comparative study of social phenomena
and organisation. Birth, education, marriage, and
death customs and systems. Social and religious
associations. Government and laws. Moral ideas and
codes. Magical and religious ideas and practices.
(d) Linguistic.—The comparative study of language.
(e) Ethnological.—The comparative study and classification of
peoples based upon cultural conditions and
characteristics. The influence of environment upon
culture.
Chapter I.

THE PIONEERS OF PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY

Definition of the Aristotle, “the father of them that know,” as


word Dante called him, is credited with having coined
“Anthropology.” the word “anthropologist”; but he did not employ it
in a very complimentary sense. Describing a lofty-minded man in his
Ethics, he terms him ουκ ανθρωπολογος—not a gossip, not a talker
about himself. But the word does not seem to have supplied a
permanent want in the Greek world, and we meet it next in a Latin
form in the sixteenth century. Anthropologium was then used in a
restricted sense, relating to man’s bodily structure; and the first work
in which it occurs is generally stated to be Magnus Hundt’s
Anthropologium de hominis dignitate, which appeared in 1501, and
dealt in a general way with human anatomy and physiology.
The first appearance of the word in English was probably in the
seventeenth century, when an anonymous book was published
bearing the title Anthropologie Abstracted; or, The idea of Humane
nature reflected in briefe Philosophicall and anatomical collections
(1655). The author defines his subject thus:—
Anthropologie, or the history of human nature, is, in the vulgar (yet just)
impression, distinguished into two volumes: the first entitled Psychologie,
the nature of the rational soule discoursed; the other anatomie, or the
fabrick or structure of the body of man revealed in dissection ... of the
former we shall in a distracted rehersall, deliver our collections.[2]
2. See Bendyshe, p. 356.

The meaning of the word was scarcely clear in the beginning of the
nineteenth century, when we find, in the British Encyclopædia of
1822, the following definitions, “A discourse upon human nature,”
and “Among Divines, that manner of expression by which the
inspired writers attribute human parts and passions to God.”
Concerning the present use of the term “Anthropology,” few will
take exception to the definition given by Topinard in his
l’Anthropologie (1876): “Anthropology is the branch of natural history
which treats of man and the races of man.” It may be yet more
succinctly described as “the science of man,” which comprises two
main divisions—the one which deals with the natural man
(ανθρωπος, or homo); the other which is concerned with man in
relation to his fellows, or, in other words, with social man (εθνορ, or
socius). At the end of the Introduction we give the classification
which we propose to adopt. It should, however, be stated that,
whereas in this country we employ the term “Anthropology” to cover
the whole subject, it is common on the Continent to restrict the term
to what we designate as “Physical Anthropology,” “Anthropography,”
or “Somatology.”

Fundamental The beginnings of anthropology may probably


Conceptions. be traced to what Professor Giddings (1896) has
termed the “consciousness of kind,” but what Dr. McDougall (1898)
has more definitely recognised as showing the gregarious impulse.
He says (pp. 299-300):—
The gregarious impulse of any animal receives satisfaction only
through the presence of animals similar to itself, and the closer the
similarity the greater is the satisfaction.... Just so, in any human being the
instinct operates most powerfully in relation to, and receives the highest
degree of satisfaction from the presence of, the human beings who most
closely resemble that individual, those who behave in like manner and
respond to the same situations with similar emotions.

Race The recognition of degrees of likeness implies


Discrimination. the recognition of unlikeness. This may be termed
the stage of race discrimination. Ancient literature and the pictorial
art of certain uncivilised peoples abound in examples of race
discrimination. The crude representations of human beings
discovered in caves in France and elsewhere were probably
intended to portray the people themselves, who lived in the
palæolithic period. These drawings or carvings, like those of most
modern savages, exhibit much greater skill in delineating animals
than human beings; consequently it is dangerous to rely on them as
representing the physical characteristics of the then existing
populations. Very different is the famous Bushman pictograph of a
fight between Bushmen and Kafirs. Here relative size, the difference
in colour, and the employment of different implements of war by
these two races, are strikingly exemplified; but as a general rule the
Bushmen themselves exaggerate certain features and minimise
others—for example, the head is invariably too small and
featureless.
In Egypt there is an immense amount of pictorial and sculptured
material for ethnological study, covering a range of many centuries.
Over three thousand years ago the artists—“untrained but not
unobservant ethnologists”[3]—decorated the walls of royal tombs with
representations of the four races of mankind, among whom the
Egyptians of the nineteenth dynasty supposed the world to be
partitioned—(1) The Egyptians, whom they painted red; (2) the
Asiatics or Semites, yellow; (3) the Southerns or Negroes, black; and
(4) the Westerns or Northerners, white, with blue eyes and fair
beards. Each type is clearly differentiated by peculiar dress and
characteristic features. In addition to these four types, other human
varieties were delineated by the Ancient Egyptians, most of which
can be identified. “On the Egyptian monuments we not only find very
typical portraits, but also an attempt at classification; for the
Egyptians were a scientific people, with a knowledge of medicine,
and also skilled mathematicians; therefore their primitive
anthropology is not unexpected.”[4] This facility for race discrimination
was still earlier exhibited in the prehistoric or early historic slate
palettes of Egypt.

Belonging to the fifth century B.C. are the realistic portraiture


figurines in pottery discovered by Professor Flinders Petrie at
Memphis,[5] “which clearly are copied from various races which were
welded together by the Persians, and who all met in the foreign
settlement at Memphis.” Professor Petrie identifies Sumerians or
Accadians, the old Turanian people who started civilisation in
Babylonia. “Their heads are identified by closely similar portraits
carved in stone about 3000 B.C., and found in Mesopotamia.”
Persians, Scythians, Mongols, and even Indians, are also
recognised by him; but some of the latter are dated by him at about
200 B.C.

Assyrian monuments are less explicit in this respect.


The Assyrians themselves are shown to have been of a very pure type
of Semites; but in the Babylonians there is a sign of Cushite blood....
There is one portrait of an Elamite (Cushite) king on a vase found at
Susa; he is painted black, and thus belongs to the Cushite race. The
Ethiopian type can be clearly seen in the reliefs depicting the Assyrian
wars with the kings of Ethiopia; but it is hard to discriminate Arabs and
Jews from Assyrians; in fact, it is only in the time of good art that
distinctions are traceable.[6]

Rock carvings in Persia, Scythian coins, and numerous other


monuments and remains from other countries and belonging to
diverse ages, illustrate that the head-form, features, character of the
hair and mode of wearing it, ornaments, dress, and weapons, were
all recognised as means of discriminating between different peoples
from the earliest times.
Ancient literature, of which one example must suffice, tells the
same tale:—
The sense of differences of colour, which, for all our talk of common
humanity, still plays a great and, politically, often an inconvenient part in
the history of the world, finds forcible expression in the Vedic descriptions
of the people whom the Aryans found in possession of the plains of India.
In a well-known passage the god Indra is praised for having protected the
Aryan colour, and the word meaning colour (varna) is used down to the
present day as the equivalent of caste, more especially with reference to
the castes believed to be of Aryan descent.[7]

7. Report Brit. Assoc., 1881, p. 683.


The word “caste” is of Portuguese origin. In the 179th hymn of the
first Mandala of the Rig-Veda, as Dr. Gerson da Cunha points out,[8]
the word varna is used in the dual number, ubhau varnau, “two
colours,” white of the Aryans and black of the Dasyus—that is, of the
“Dravidian” aborigines, who are elsewhere called “black-skinned,”
“unholy,” “excommunicated.” Other texts dwell on their low stature,
coarse features, and their voracious appetite. The Rig-Veda employs
the word anâsa—“noseless”—to characterise the Dasyus and
Daityas, which designations mean “thieves” or “demons.” It is hardly
an exaggeration to say that from these sources there might be
compiled a fairly accurate anthropological definition of the jungle
tribes of to-day.

Thus were the foundations of descriptive anthropology


unconsciously laid.
In our own day racial characters are seized upon in the same
manner, and racial antipathy adds fuel to its own fire in regarding
traits which differ from those of the speaker or writer as being ugly,
objectionable, or of low type. “The study of race,” said the late Sir
William Flower (1831-1899), “is at a low ebb indeed when we hear
the same contemptuous epithet of ‘nigger’ applied indiscriminately
by the English abroad to the blacks of the West Coast of Africa, to
Kafirs of Natal, the Lascars of Bombay, the Hindoos of Calcutta, the
aborigines of Australia, and even the Maories of New Zealand.”[9]
The Englishman who contemns as a “nigger” any dark-skinned
native has not advanced in race discrimination beyond his remote
kinsman who crossed into the valley of the Indus some four
thousand years ago.

Hippocrates. Hippocrates (460-357 B.C.), “the Father of
Physic,” was certainly a pioneer in physical
anthropology. He says: “I will pass over the smaller differences
among nations, but will now treat of such as are great either from
nature or custom; and, first, concerning the macrocephali. There is
no other race of men which have heads in the least resembling
theirs.” He believed that this elongated conformation of the head was
originally produced artificially; but subsequently it was inherited, or,
as he puts it: “Thus, at first usage operated, so that this constitution
was the result of force; but in the course of time it was formed
naturally, so that usage had nothing to do with it”—a view adopted
many centuries later by Buffon and others.
Aristotle. Not only was Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) the first
authority to make use of the word
[10]
“anthropology,” but he may also be described as an
anthropologist. Material had been collected by travellers, such as
Hanno, the Carthaginian, who encountered gorillas in Africa; by
historians, such as Herodotus (who was also a traveller); and by
doctors, such as Hippocrates. Aristotle was indebted to some extent
to all of these; but his vast works in natural history were based
mainly on what he considered of primary importance—facts of actual
personal knowledge derived from personal observation. On this
account alone his writings deserved the place which they held for
many centuries.
10. Cf. p. 6.

Thus, undisturbed by the dogmas of religion or philosophy, he


placed man naturally among the animals (being thus, as Topinard
remarks, about twenty centuries ahead of humanity), but
distinguished from them by certain features—by the relative size of
the brain, by two-leggedness, by mental characters, etc. Some
writers regard it as improbable that either Hippocrates or Aristotle
had ever dissected the human body, but it is also possible to hold an
opposite view. Even Galen (c. 130 A.D.), whose anatomy held the
field for more than a thousand years, had to base his conclusions on
the bodies of animals, notably on those of monkeys; and, although
he did not conceal the fact, it was not until the time of Vesalius that
the discrepancy between simian and human anatomy was
discovered.
Vesalius. Vesalius (1513-1564) is the next great name in
the history of physical anthropology. He was
Professor of Anatomy at Padua, Bologna, and Pisa, and physician to
Charles V. and Philip II. His work marks a revolution in anatomical
science; for not only did he overthrow the doctrines which had been
accepted for fourteen centuries, demonstrating that to a great extent
Galen had studied the anatomy of the ape rather than that of man,
but, by his own deductions from direct observation and original
research, he established a fresh and unassailable foundation for
future investigation. His services to anatomy have been compared to
those of Galileo and Copernicus in the field of astronomy. His fate
was not unlike that of many other daring pioneers of the Middle
Ages. He was accused of having dissected a man while yet alive,
and was dragged by his enemies before the Inquisition and
condemned to death. By the intercession of the king his sentence
was commuted into a pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulchre; but on his
return journey he was shipwrecked and drowned off the island of
Zante.
Cunningham, in his Presidential Address to the Royal
Anthropological Institute, 1908, refers to the work of Vesalius, whom
he describes as one of the most remarkable figures in the sixteenth
century. He adds:—
It is interesting to note in passing that certain racial distinctions did not
escape the eye of Vesalius. “It appears,” he remarks, “that most nations
have something peculiar in the shape of the head. The crania of the
Genoese, and, still more remarkable, those of the Greeks and Turks, are
globular in form. This shape, which they esteem elegant and well adapted
to their practice of enveloping the head in the folds of their turbans, is
often produced by the midwives at the solicitation of the mother.” He
further observes “that the Germans had generally a flattened occiput and
broad head, because the children are always laid on their backs in the
cradles; and that the Belgians have a more oblong form, because the
children are allowed to sleep on their sides.”

We know that more or less continuous pressure is exerted on the


pliable heads of infants to produce admired shapes, but the theory
was carried rather too far when adduced, some centuries later, to
account for the facial features of negroes. Lawrence, in his Lectures
on Comparative Anatomy, attributed the flat noses and thick lips of
the negro to the method of carrying babies in Africa. The negro
mothers, while at work, carry their infants on their backs, and “in the
violent motions required for their hard labour, as in beating or
pounding millet, the face of the child is said to be constantly
thumping against the back of the mother.” By this rude treatment the
face of the negro child was supposed to be moulded into shape; but,
as Cunningham points out, no attempt was made to explain how the
process of bumping produced exactly opposite results in the case of
the nose and lips—reducing the prominence of the former and
increasing the projection of the latter.
Spigel. “The invention of the ‘lineæ cephalometricæ’ of
Spigel, who died in the early part of the
seventeenth century, may perhaps be regarded as constituting the
earliest scientific attempt at cranial measurement.” He drew four
lines in certain directions, and a skull in which these lines were equal
to each other he regarded as regularly proportioned. “Although these
lines are evidently not sufficient for the comparative ethnography of
the present day, yet it is interesting to observe that, in ascending the
zoological scale, these lines approximate equality just in proportion
as the head measured approaches the human form.”[11]

Tyson. Johann Sperling, author of a Physica
anthropologia (1668), and Samuel Haworth, who
wrote Anthropologia; or A philosophical discourse concerning man
(1680), also belong to the seventeenth century. But more important
is the work of Edward Tyson, a Cambridge man, who took his degree
of Doctor of Medicine in 1678. He was a Fellow, and later Censor, of
the College of Physicians, Fellow of the Royal Society, and writer of
numerous papers on anatomy. His fame rests mainly on the work
which laid the foundations of comparative morphology, Orang-
Outang, sive Homo Sylvestris: or The Anatomy of a Pygmie
compared with that of a Monkey, an Ape, and a Man (1699). This
was the first attempt to deal with the anatomy of any of the
anthropoid apes, and shows very conspicuous ability on the part of
the author. He compared the structure of man with that of the
monkeys, and came to the conclusion that the pygmy formed a kind
of intermediate animal between the two. The pygmy was, as a matter
of fact, a chimpanzee, and its skeleton, which was thus early
recognised as the “missing link,” is still to be seen in the Natural
History Museum (British Museum) at South Kensington. Tyson
added to his work on the Anatomy of the Pygmie, A Philological
Essay, Concerning the Pygmies, the Cynocephali, the Satyrs, and
Sphinges of the Ancients. Wherein it will appear that they are all
either Apes or Monkeys, and not Men as formerly pretended. The
purpose of the Essay may be expressed in his own words:—
If therefore I can make out ... that there were such Animals as
Pygmies; and that they were not a Race of Men, but Apes; and can
discover the Authors, who have forged all, or most of the idle Stories
concerning them; and shew how the Cheat in after Ages has been carried
on, by embalming the Bodies of Apes, then exposing them for the Men of
the Country, from whence they brought them: If I can do this, I shall think
my time not wholly lost, nor the trouble altogether useless, that I have
had in this Enquiry.

The Pygmies. This was the first attempt to explain in a rational


fashion the innumerable tales found in all parts of
the world about the existence of pygmy races, ape-men or men-
apes. Tyson’s hypothesis was that all these legends were based on
imperfect observations of apes, and he was followed by Buffon and
others. It may be well here briefly to note the researches which have
led in late years to the opposite conclusion—i.e., that the tales relate
to a dwarf race of men formerly very widely spread over the globe.
This theory is mainly associated with the name of de Quatrefages
(1810-1892). In the Introduction to his book on the pygmies he says:
“For a long time past the small black races have attracted my
attention and my interest in a special manner.” His earliest
investigations of the subject were published in 1862, and continued
until 1887. Analysing the evidence, he shows that the two localities
where the ancients appear to place their pygmies (the interior of
Africa and the southern-most parts of Asia), together with the
characters assigned to them, indicate an actual knowledge of the
two groups of small people (Negrilloes and Negritoes), who are still
to be found in those regions. Professor J. Kollmann, of Basel, in his
Pygmäen in Europa (1894), argues for the existence of a European
pygmy race in Neolithic times from some remains found at
Schaffhausen, and the wide prevalence of short statures among
many peoples in Europe, especially in the south. Mr. David
MacRitchie attributes not only legends of pygmies, but fairy-tales in
general, to this prehistoric dwarf race. President Windle sums up the
question thus:—
It is possible with more or less accuracy and certainty to identify most
of those races which, described by the older writers, had been rejected
by their successors. Time has brought their revenge to Aristotle and Pliny
by showing that they were right, where Tyson, and even Buffon, were
wrong. (P. liii.)

In the time of Aristotle Man took his place naturally at the head of
the other animals, being distinguished from the brutes by certain
characters. But the influence of religion and of philosophy did not
long permit of this association. Man came to be regarded as the chef
d’œuvre of creation, a thing apart, a position aptly described in the
words of Saint Paul (marginal version) “for a little while inferior to the
angels.”
In the eighteenth century came a startling change. Man was
wrenched from this detached and isolated attitude, and linked on
once more to the beasts of the field. This was the work of Linnæus.
Linnæus. The year 1707 is memorable in the history of
Anthropology as the date of the birth of two of its
greatest men, Linnæus[12] (1707-1778) and Buffon (1707-1788). Both
devoted long lives to science, and both produced monumental works
of permanent value; but it would be hard to find two contemporary
figures engaged in the same pursuit whose lives presented a greater
contrast.
12. By a patent of nobility conferred in 1757 Linnæus became Karl von Linné.
Linnæus was the son of a poor pastor, and his mother was the
daughter of the former pastor of the same small Swedish parish. At
the early age of four young Karl is said to have taken an interest in
botany, and to have begun to ask questions that his father could not
answer. Either to escape this interrogation, or for wiser motives, the
father made it a rule never to answer the same question twice, and
to this early discipline Linnæus used to trace his tenacious memory.
The boy was intended for the ministry, and was early sent to school;
but, as he devoted all his time to botany, his progress in theology
was nil, and when, after two years, his father visited the school, and
learnt of the disappointing result of all the pinching and saving which
had gone to provide for the son’s education, he resolved to
apprentice him to a tailor or shoemaker in hopes of obtaining a better
return for his outlay. Fortunately a friend intervened, and gave the
boy board and lodging, besides private tuition, while he finished his
gymnasium course. His work as a student seems to have failed to
satisfy his instructors, for when he proceeded to the University of
Lund it was with the enigmatic testimonial to the effect that “some
shrubs in a garden may disappoint the cares of the gardener, but if
transplanted into different soil may prosper.”
When barely twenty-two he left Lund for Upsala, taking with him
his entire fortune of £8, and, being inexperienced and unknown,
soon found himself in desperate straits. He was rescued by the
generosity of Dr. Celsius, a professor of theology, but student of
botany, who, impressed with Karl’s collections and enthusiasm,
offered him board and lodging, and obtained for him some private
pupils. The hardships of his life were not yet over, but gradually his
work obtained recognition, abroad sooner than at home, and he
could have lived at his ease in England or the Netherlands; only (as
he expressed it), “his Sara was in Sweden,” and he returned to his
native land to scrape together sufficient means to marry her.
Buffon.
From the beginning Georges Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, was
marked out for a different life. His father was a Burgundian
Councillor, and his mother, besides being an heiress, was a woman
of unusual ability. He was originally destined for the law, but his
tastes always inclined towards science, and he soon found occasion
to follow them.
He made the acquaintance of a young Englishman of rank and of
his tutor, who was a man of science, and with them he travelled on
the continent. About the same time Linnæus was also travelling, but
in a different fashion. He set out to make explorations in Lapland,
then very little known, carrying his luggage on his back, and covered
nearly 5,000 miles at a cost of about £25. During his travels he kept
a diary[13] of his observations, which contains not only botanical but
also ethnological information of great value.
13. See Globus, “Linné als Ethnologe,” xci., 1907.
While Linnæus was living from hand to mouth, depending for his
food on chance generosity, and mending his boots with folded paper,
Buffon was living the gay life of the young men of his age and rank,
and we hear of him being forced to flee to Paris to escape the results
of wounding an Englishman in a gaming quarrel. (Linnæus was also
guilty of drawing his sword in anger, but the provocation was
different. During his absence from Upsala a rival had, by private
influence, contrived to get a prohibition put on all private lecturing in
the University, and he returned to find all his means of livelihood
suddenly cut off.)
Nevertheless Buffon’s life of pleasure did not occupy all his
energies. He possessed, as Voltaire said, “l’âme d’un sage dans le
corps d’un athlête,” and while in Paris he wrote and translated
various scientific works, was elected a member of the Academy of
Science, and in 1739 was appointed keeper of the Jardin du Roi and
of the Royal Museum.
The permanent value to Anthropology of the work of these two
men lies in the fact that they both “saw life steadily, and saw it
whole.” But they produced results not only distinct, but, in some
respects, antagonistic. Buffon, as Topinard says, did not classify, he
