Franz Boas was a German-American anthropologist considered the father of modern anthropology. He was known for his focus on fieldwork and for challenging the prevailing notion of cultural evolution, instead emphasizing the importance of viewing each culture in its own context. Boas' work laid the foundation for the cultural relativism that is a key principle in anthropology today.
