If Racism is Bad…

[HoreTore]

Take, for example, anthropology....one researcher studying one tribe to learn of its culture....a single "story" or anecdote is the result. Popper would not approve.

For much of the early anthropology, I am inclined to agree.

EDIT: But then again, my knowledge of early anthropological research is rather limited, except for the many errors they made...

Still, qualitative research also includes stuff like including an open question on a question sheet as part of a larger quantitative question sheet. With a thousand individual responses, you're not very anecdotal...
