Alan E. Mann is
a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. His
Top 10 list reviews the 1900's in a general historical light and
shows how the major events affected the work and chief concerns
of anthropologists. He generally calls attention to broad movements
rather than single momentous events. He points to the rapid population
growth during the 1900's and reveals why some anthropologists link
this trend to the end of human evolution.
