Abstract

The author brings his critical judgments in relation to one of the newest and actively propagated ideas – the idea of «experimental anthropology». According to the author, the term itself is too pretentious and unsuccessful, as it discords with the natural sciences. Most importantly, «experimental anthropology» does not actually bring anything new to the methodology and methodic of ethnological and anthropological researches.
