Science Quotes by Robert H. Lowie (1)
Since biological change occurs slowly and cultural changes occur in every generation, it is futile to try to explain the fleeting phenomena of culture by a racial constant. We can often explain them—in terms of contact with other peoples, of individual genius, of geography—but not by racial differences.
— Robert H. Lowie
An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology (1934), 9.
