Between the descriptive essay "Once More to the Lake" by E.B. White, and the narrative essay "How to Say Nothing in 500 Words" by P.M.

Anthropology (the study of man) has several important innovations that have taken it from an antiquarian hobby to disciplined sciences. Many scholars have brought different advances in anthropology to better explain culture in relation to man. Most anthropologists offered a point of view that influenced anthropology and helped it to grow into a more comprehensive science. Functionalism, a division of anthropology that claimed culture serves a purpose, came about in the 1920s. While scholars Bronislaw Malinowski and A.R.
