Until the influence of Edward Sapir, then Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead, was felt in anthropology during the 'thirties, anthropologists were almost exclusively concerned with the patterned results of learning; the kinds of houses built, the customs about clothing, the adult use of language, and so forth, and including the patterning of ideas and at titudes in people's minds. The majority of anthropologists still are concerned with these results. Anthropological re search problems, field studies, writings
