不仅神经学学科有多么紧密的联系,精神病学,和人类学,但更重要的是,他们分享“共同祖先”的程度。本文简要回顾了每个研究领域的定义和历史渊源,然后开始说明它们的“家谱”是如何重叠的。这个例子是通过对许多关键人物的抽样,这些人物不仅为神经精神病学或人类学的兴起做出了贡献,而且为这两个学科的兴起做出了贡献。也就是说,对职业生涯与医学桥接的典范进行了选择性审查,神经精神病学,和人类学。从数十名为跨越这些学科做出重大贡献的人中抽样,说明了他们共同融合的知识祖先的重要程度。这个系列类似于一个数据表,其中包含一些简明的传记插图-过去的学者经过一些或全面的医学培训,随着人类学和神经精神病学的发展,这些学科逐渐成熟。每一个都是,在某种意义上,一个数据点,支持了两个学科的思想史具有共同血统的总体论点。因此,即使是对过去一些“范例”的初步和局部调查,也强调了这种独特的知识分子同胞关系的重要性。此外,现在有大量的活着的学者,他们充分地增加了可能被认为是人类学的“三边婚姻”,精神病学,和神经学。更多当代贡献者的汇编非常值得未来的审查,从这一第一考虑扩展。这项初步工作旨在产生更强大的奖学金,更好地阐明和,因此,丰富和活跃了进一步的工作,同时也揭示了更深层次的洞察力的新途径,特别是关于进化神经科学在规范和病理方面的“概念和启发式进展”。
It is little appreciated not only how closely linked are the disciplines of neurology, psychiatry, and
anthropology but even more so the degree to which they share a \"common ancestry\". This paper briefly reviews the definition and historical origins of each area of study to then begin to illustrate how their \"genealogies\" overlap. This illustration is by way of a sampling of the many key figures who contributed to the rise of not just neuropsychiatry or
anthropology but both disciplines. That is, a selective review is undertaken of paragons whose careers bridged medicine, neuropsychiatry, and
anthropology. A sampling from among the dozens who have made major contributions to spanning these disciplines illuminates the significant extent of their co-mingled intellectual ancestry. This series is akin to a data table of necessarily concise biographical vignettes - past scholars with some or full medical training who also advanced both
anthropology and neuropsychiatry as these disciplines grew into intellectual maturity. Each is, in a sense, a data point that bolsters the overarching thesis that the intellectual history of both disciplines has shared ancestry. Thus, even this preliminary and topical survey of a few past \"exemplars\" underscores the importance of this unique intellectual siblingship. Moreover, there is now a profusion of living scholars who add fulsomely to what might be deemed this \'trilateral marriage\' of
anthropology, psychiatry, and neurology. A compilation of more contemporary contributors is well worthy of a future review that expands from this first consideration. This initial work is meant to engender more robust scholarship that better elucidates and, thereby, enriches and enlivens further work while also uncovering new avenues of deeper insight, notably as to the \"conceptual and heuristic progression\" of evolutionary neurosciences with respect to the normative and pathologic.
