2 See his article "The Relation of Anthropology to the Study of His- tory, " in The Aiiiericau Jouruiil of Soci'o/ofiy, J"Lv» 1895. ^Ludwig Tobler, in his article " Zur Philosophic der Geschichte, " in the Zeitschrift fiir Volkerpsychologic^ Bd. XII. , s. 195. is content with applying the knowledge he gains to present action. Before stating the view of the ethnologist, I must briefly describe what the science of Ethnology is. You will see at once how closely it is allied to history, and that th...e ex- planation of the one almost carries with it the prescription for the other. It begins with the acknowledged maxim that man is by nature a gregarious animal, a zoon ^olitikon^ as Aristotle called him, living in society, and owing to society all those traits which it is the business of history, as distinguished from biology, to study. From this standpoint, all that the man is he owes to others ; and what the others are, they owe, in part, to him. To- gether, they make up the social unit, at first the family or clan, itself becoming part of a larger unit, a tribe, nation or people.
