Description:Pp. xvi, 583; 44 full page plates (black-and-white photos of human faces, detailed maps showing distribution of traits and people). Publisher's original dark green cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine, thick lg 8vo. A detailed study of the geography of human variation. Dixon received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1900. Dixon was Franz Boas's first doctoral student at Harvard, and Dixon's early papers represent some of the earliest work inspired by Boas' views on culture. However, Boas did not fully articulate his views on culture until 1911, thus Dixon's work is less influenced by Boasian views than that of many of Boas' later students. Dixon's approach towards cultures was geographic in orientation, and he generally viewed cultures as static entities, with change primarily being induced by migration. Dixon's geographical-historical approach was not taken up by any later anthropologists. Dixon was Alfred Kroeber's closest professional colleague from 1897 until about 1906. They coordinated closely, published a number of papers jointly, and had an explicit agreement not to duplicate one another's work, Dixon working on languages and cultures in northeastern California and the northern Sierra Nevada, Kroeber in the remainder of the state (modified after Wiki). This volume comes from the research library of Berkeley's Alfred Kroeber with his pencil signature on the front endpaper; there are a few pencil marginal notes by Kroeber in the text.
