Synopsis
Explore early science writing across anthropology, geology, and physiology in this 1898 issue of Science Progress.
This edition gathers essays, reports, and reviews that illuminate how researchers studied people, landscapes, and natural processes in the late 19th century.
Delving into how measuring people was used in anthropometry and identity work, and how ethnographic surveys informed our understanding of regions like Ireland and Britain, the issue presents a snapshot of the period’s scientific methods and questions. It also surveys the shaping of British scenery through geology and drainage, tracing how uplifts and ancient rocks helped explain present river patterns and landforms. Together, these pieces show the era’s blend of field observation, theory, and practical inquiry.
- Human measurement and identification practices, and their social implications
- Ethnography and the organization of cultural surveys in the United Kingdom
- The development of British scenery through rivers, uplifts, and ancient rock formations
- Reviews of books, instruments, and scientific equipment of the time
Ideal for readers curious about the history of science, 19th‑century anthropology, geology, and the evolution of field methods.
