Boas and his students, principally Melville Herskovitz, Otto Klineberg, Margaret Mead, and Ruth Benedict, became champions of the primacy of culture over biology in explaining human behavior (p.55). Ballen discovered that Ruth Benedict's critiques of racism in the 1930s were written in close partnership with Boas, but unfortunately, the author does not explore how Benedict, probably from French sources, introduced the word “racism” itself into our vocabulary (p.55).
