Summary
In 1799, the Société des observateurs de l'homme - the Society of the Observers of Man - was set up with the aim of establishing a »comparative anthropology«. Laurens Schlicht investigates just how humans became research objects and which short-term transformations they were subjected to both in this empirical research role and as political actors.
