Rivers, William Halse Rivers

Abstract

In England, as in Germany, there was a long tradition of theorizing about the peoples of the world and the place of those peoples relative to the English. Common were questions about civilization, especially the civilizing influence on “savages” or “primitive” peoples, and questions about human progress. By the end of the nineteenth century, a small group of men interested in anthropological questions began to create a discipline of anthropology. Several psychologists were among those involved in creating the discipline, chief among them the young physician, William H. R. Rivers.
