Abstract

The article presents a review of several essays by anthropologists that reflected the trends of postwar anthropology with authority and distinction. These essays tackled the trends that include the shift from traditional physical anthropology to human biology, under the influence of modem genetics. Furthermore, this literature review explores the renewed emphasis on culture and culture change, the increasing concern with peasant society and urban life, the revival of psychological and philosophical anthropology, the revolutionary developments in modem linguistics, the shift in our conceptions of social structure, and the continuing search for new and better models.
