Back in business: history and evolution at the new Musée de l'Homme

Abstract

The public will not allow us to deal exclusively with things that are facile, amusing, curious, bizarre, passé, things that present no danger, because they concern societies which are either extinct or remote from our own. The public wants studies with conclusions relevant for the present[. . .]let us not be weary of bringing[scientific]facts into the debate. And if our practical conclusions will turn out to be meagre and hardly topical? All the more reason for us to propagate them liberally and energetically.(Marcel Mauss 1927, cited in Schlanger 2006: 15)
