Historical Explanation and the Concept of Progress in Primatology

To commemorate the centenary of the Anthropologisches Institut in Zürich, I want to discuss an important midcentury change in the way we think about human and primate evolution, and about evolution in general. This change seems like an appropriate topic, because some major figures in the Institute's history helped to bring it about. I can sum It up simply by saying that it involved the death of the idea of progress.
