Contributions to Historical Anthropology

Summary:
The author inquires about a science of humanity, a complex anthropology. He does not limit himself to questioning from the traditionally separate and often divergent perspectives of religion, natural sciences, and humanities, but seeks the connection between the three paths of knowledge. Historical anthropology is therefore seen not as a branch of anthropology, but as a whole.
