Lesson 44-4Patterns of culture
In all the lesscontroversial fields, like the study of cacti or termites or the nature ofnebulae, the necessary method of study is to group the relevant material and totake note of all possible variant forms and conditions. In this way, we havelearned all that we know of the laws of astronomy, or of the habits of thesocial insects, let us say. It is only in the study of man himself that themajor social sciences have substituted the study of one local variation, thatof Western civilization.
Anthropology wasby definition impossible, as long as these distinctions between ourselves andthe primitive, ourselves and the barbarian, ourselves and the pagan, held swayover people's minds. It was necessary first to arrive at that degree ofsophistication where we no longer set our own belief against our neighbour’ssuperstition. It was necessary to recognize that these institutions which arebased on the same premises, let us say the supernatural, must be consideredtogether, our own among the rest.
