 | | Finally, anthropology has a history of entanglement with government intelligence agencies and anti-war politics. | | | This being said, curatorial practice has changed dramatically in recent years, and it would be wrong to see anthropology as merely an extension of colonial rule and European chauvinism, since its relationship to imperialism was and is complex. | | | Whereas Boas picked his opponents to pieces through attention to detail, in Britain modern anthropology was formed by rejecting historical reconstruction in the name of a science of society that focused on analyzing how societies held together in the present. |

| | Thus, the emergence of urban anthropology resulted in part from the consequences of World War II and the processes of decolonization. | | | For, in their view, differentiating "the West" as industrial and "the rest" as "primitive" does not constitute a valid opposition because a society does not exist that has not been profoundly touched by industrialization. | | | According to Robert V. Kemper, the trends revealed by the comparative analysis of the 1991 survey of nearly 900 individuals and the 1975 survey of fewer than 450 individuals are generally in accord with the broader transformations in North American anthropology. |

| | Anthropology begins with a simple yet enormously powerful idea: any detail of human behavior can only be understood when it is placed in a cross-cultural context, that is, when it is seen against the background provided by the full range of human behavior. | | | This comparative perspective attempts to understand and explain the similarities and differences that exist among people in different cultures in the context of humanity as a whole. | | | Anthropology deals both with the unfamiliar and the familiar: from tribal warfare, nomadism, chimpanzee "language", to tourism, the adaptations of migrants living in foreign cities, and the impact of globalization on less-developed societies. |
