History of anthropology
The first use of the term "anthropology" in English to refer to a natural science of humanity was apparently in Richard Harvey's 1593 "Philadelphus, a defense of the legend of Brutus in British history", which, includes the passage: "Genealogy or issue which they had, Artes which they studied, Actes which they did. This part of History is named Anthropology."
History of anthropology
Many anthropological writers find anthropological-quality theorizing in the works of Classical Greece and Classical Rome; for example, John Myres in "Herodotus and Anthropology" (1908); E. E. Sikes in "The Anthropology of the Greeks" (1914); Clyde Kluckhohn in "Anthropology and the Classics" (1961), and many others. An equally long list may be found in French and German as well as other languages.
