Hello, today I'm going to talk about the best anthropologist that I know.
I haven't know many anthropologist yet; I've read a lot of texts of different professionals in the area and others ones from another social science. As result, I just know little things about many persons. In my opinion, I´m not the right person to say who is the best in something ,but at this time I'm going to talk about Julian Steward, because I think that he did an important contribution to the anthropological science. He is an american anthropologist and archaeologist who founded a new perspective to study cultures, a theory that he called Cultural Ecology. His theory has been considered as a new version of Darwin's evolution theory since he gave an explanation about differents ways of live by means of Adaptation
and because it took into account the Environment. As well his theory provides an especifc method for research too.
I knew him in Anthropology class; the profesor who introduced him did when we were study History Materialism, which was the mean theorical develop by Karl Marx, and Steward has been considered part of that thinking. For me their approach to the study of society and populations is practice and useful so it can give aswers related with a lot of social science´s problems. I think that Anthropology must be a scientific discipline wich must predict the behavior of its object of study ; for that purpose it needs a method, laws and theories than this perspective could give and others ones couldn´t.
Julian Steward was a Profesor of many Universities in U.S.A, unfortunately I don´t know very well his research. I just can disscus about his general ideas; however I would like a lot know more respect to other anthropologist even if they belong to a differents anthropology´s schools.
For more information you can visit this website, there is a Steward´s biography and a photograph too; also there are information of several themes, science and professionals. http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/information/biography/pqrst/steward_julian.html
