Frases de Franz Boas

Franz Uri Boas foi um antropólogo teuto-americano um dos pioneiros da antropologia moderna que tem sido chamado de "Pai da Antropologia Americana".Estudando na Alemanha, Boas foi premiado com um doutorado em 1881 em física, enquanto estudava geografia. Em seguida, participou de uma expedição geográfica ao norte do Canadá de 1883 a 1884, onde ficou fascinado com a cultura e a língua da ilha de Baffin se tornando o primeiro estudioso a envolver-se em trabalho de campo prolongado com o Inuits. Em 1887 emigrou para os Estados Unidos, onde trabalhou pela primeira vez como um curador do museu no Smithsonian, e em 1899 tornou-se professor de antropologia da Universidade de Columbia, onde permaneceu pelo resto de sua carreira. Através de seus alunos, muitos dos quais passaram a manter departamentos de antropologia e programas de pesquisa inspirados por seu mentor, Boas influenciou profundamente o desenvolvimento da antropologia norte-americana. Entre seus alunos mais significativos estão A. L. Kroeber, Ruth Benedict, Edward Sapir, Margaret Mead, Zora Neale Hurston e Gilberto Freyre. Wikipedia

“Anthropology has reached that point of development where the careful investigation of facts shakes our firm belief in the far-reaching theories that have been built up. The complexity of each phenomenon dawns on our minds, and makes us desirous of proceeding more cautiously. Heretofore we have seen the features common to all human thought.”

“Eugenics should, therefore, not be allowed to deceive us into the belief that we should try to raise a race of supermen, nor that it should be our aim to eliminate all suffering and pain. The attempt to suppress those defective classes whose deficiencies can be proved by rigid methods to be due to hereditary causes, and to prevent unions that will unavoidably lead to the birth of disease-stricken progeny, is the proper field of eugenics. How much can be and should be attempted in this field depends upon the results of careful studies of the law of heredity. Eugenics is not a panacea that will cure human ills, it is rather a dangerous sword that may turn its edge against those who rely on its strength.”
