Mr. J.H. Driberg: The Proper Study of Mankind: An Introduction to Anthropology

on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

This is the second of Mr. Driberg's three talks on the fascinating science of anthropology the study of man's culture at different stages of development, so many of which coexist side by side in the world of today. This afternoon he will discuss what constitutes, from the anthropological point of view, the organic unity of any society; how far the common element is to be sought in bodily structure, language, custom, belief, social organization, and so on. We are requested to state that the two illustrations to Mr. Driberg's talks reproduced in the pamphlet on Special Talks to Secondary Schools (pp. 13 and 14) are the work of Miss Pearl Binder, and are taken from her illustrations to Mr. Driberg's forthcoming book, ' The People of the Small Arrow.'
