Fills a gap in the history of anthropology by examining the role of expeditions in structuring both anthropological inquiry and its antecedent forms of human research. It does this by providing a long-term historical perspective, beginning in the seventeenth century and following it through until the middle of the twentieth century. Addresses the gendered nature of expeditions, a perspective that is lacking from existing literature. Addresses the role of travel and adventure in shaping anthropological thinking.
