Abstract
Many topics of interest to earlier writers have been abandoned by social anthropologists because they have involved the use of comparative rather than intensive techniques. But a whole range of problems can be dealt with only by means of comparison and the subject has been impoverished by our failure to utilise the full range of techniques available to us. And while we have lagged behind, other social scientists have tried to answer those questions in more adventurous ways.
