A number of anthropologists also analyzed accounts written by other, especially if they could not afford time and expense of a field expedition.
This armchair anthropologist, based on travel diaries and missionary accounts rather than field search, lead to a particular styles of analysis that could not hope to capture the true nature of traditional societies.
Even those who could do field research there was no systematic attempt to meet true research standards.
It was not until the twentieth century that anthropologists became really concerned with the quality of their research and began to develop a set of standard for the field worker.
A leader in the movement toward uncontrolled research methods for cultural anthropology was Bronislow Malinowski.
Born in what is called now Poland, Malinowski was trained in mathematic but early in life he became interested in anthropology.
