| | | Title: | Leonard Carmichael Papers
| | | | Type: | Collection | | | | Format: | Manuscripts | | | | Language: | English | | | | Dates: | Circa 1917-1973 | | | | Extent: | 183 linear feet | | | | Abstract: | Carmichael was chairman of the Division of Anthropology and Psychology of the National Research Council, from 1941 to 1943. His papers include Division records, from 1941 to 1943 and 1955 to 1962. The earlier documents are interesting for their illustration of the wartime use of anthropology and psychology by the federal government. The records extant in Carmichael's files include various committee and sub-committee reports on routine Division business; they chronicle the marshalling of anthropology and psychology for the war effort. The later records (1955-62) include a history of the Division, membership lists, research proposals, the annual reports of the Division itself, and various sub-committee reports. Also included are reports on symposia supported by the Division, including the "USAF-NRC Symposium On Human Engineering, Personnel, And Training Research" in 1955. Carmichael's papers include records of the U.S. Committee for National Morale, dated 1941 and afterwards, and contain a report on "Cultural Anthropology and Morale," among other documents. He was a member of the applied psychology panel of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, 1942-1945. | | | | Source: | Leonard Carmichael Papers (B C212) | | | | |

His work has been applied by social scientists to problems in their particular fields. Caspari's papers contain correspondence with the American Psychological and Sociological Associations. Included under the heading of the latter is a copy of his 1963 conference address to the ASA on "Genetic Constitution and Social Factors in Man." There is correspondence (1968-72) with Bernard Campbell on the topic of a published volume dealing with sexual selection in human evolution, to commemorate the centenary of Charles Darwin's Descent of Man, and also with the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Other relevant subject materials include records dealing with Caspari's membership on the Committee on Genetics and Behavior of the National Research Council; a study on "The Biological Basis of Female Hierarchies" of 1975; and various public addresses and papers dealing with heredity and environment in the determination of human behavior, human origins, and the interactions between biological and cultural evolution. | | | | Source: | Ernst Wolfgang Caspari Papers (Ms. Coll. 1) | | | | |

| 38 | Author: | Darwin, Charles, 1809-1882 | | | | | Naturalist. Darwin was independently wealthy and pursued much of his work at home, in Kent. His travels with the Beagle, 1831-1836, set the stage for his later studies in geology, zoology, and botany. Subsequent to the publication of The Origin of Species in 1859, he was made an honorary member (1861) of the London Ethnological Society. Darwin did not specifically write upon human evolution until the later 1860s, when The Descent of Man was composed (published 1871), followed in 1872 by Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. Both books were influential upon later writing and research in anthropology. | |
| | | Title: | Charles Darwin Collection
| | | | Type: | Collection | | | | Format: | Manuscripts | | | | Language: | English | | | | Dates: | 1837-1882 | | | | Extent: | Approximately 950 items | | | | Abstract: | The American Philosophical Society Library holds an extensive collection of Darwin letters, either in original or photo-copy form. The manuscript letter collection includes approximately 730 Darwin letters (B D25.m, B D25.L, B D25.L1, B D25.r, B D25.1-361). The large groups of letters are to Charles Lyell and to George Romanes. The Library also holds photocopy or microfilm copies of almost the entirety of Darwin's known surviving correspondence, listed in A Calendar of the Correspondence of Charles Darwin, 1821-1882, Frederick Burkhardt and Sidney Smith, editors, New York: Garland, 1985. Cambridge University Press is now publishing the letters in a multi-volume series. The correspondence most useful for studies in the history of anthropology includes the letters between Darwin and T.H. Huxley, Charles Lyell, George Rolleston, A.R. Wallace, Armand de Quatrefages, John Lubbock, Karl von Baer, E.B. Tylor, Herbert Spencer, H.W. Flower, and Francis Galton. | | | | Source: | Charles Darwin Collection (B D25) | | | | |

| 39 | Author: | Davenport, Charles Benedict, 1866-1944 | | | | | Biologist, eugenicist. Instructor, zoology, Harvard University, 1892-1899; assistant professor, University of Chicago, 1899-1891, associate professor, 1901-1904; director, summer biological lab, of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, 1898-1923; director, Station for Experimental Evolution, Cold Spring Harbor, 1904-1934; director, Eugenics Record Office, 1910-1934 (1920-1934, Department of Genetics, Carnegie Institution). Davenport was a central figure in American eugenics and, secondarily, in genetics research, from the founding of the Cold Spring Harbor Station in 1904 to the 1930s. He frequently found himself in serious disagreement with Boas and his supporters over the role of environment versus heredity in shaping racial morphology and social behavior. | |
