Franz Boas (1858-1942) is a German-American anthropologist known as "Father of American Anthropology". Boas has made an important contribution to anthropology, especially physical anthropology, linguistics, archeology and cultural anthropology. His work emphasizes the cultural and environmental influences of people to explain the growth and development of people and to evaluate them with human biology and evolution. This encourages scholars to get rid of the static classification of race. Prior to Boas, anthropology is a research on race, and after boa it is said that anthropology was a study of culture.
