Lorsque Livingstone, médecin et missionnaire, débarque au Cap en 1840, il s'apprête à explorer une terra incognita. A la recherche de nouvelles routes pour évangéliser les régions intérieures et commercer avec elles, il traverse l'Afrique, d'est en ouest le long du Zambèze, puis du sud au nord, du Cap aux chutes Victoria. Si le prosélytisme et le commerce font naître des vocations, l'élan vers les sciences de la nature suscité par le siècle des Lumières est à l'origine de bien d'autres explorations, comme celles de Grant, Baker, Brazza ou Mary Kingsley. Mais la colonisation prend le pas sur les entreprises individuelles en quelques décennies : alors qu'en juin 1857, Speke et Burton avaient débarqué à Bagamoyo mus par le seul désir de résoudre le mystère insoluble depuis l'Antiquité des sources du Nil, Stanley, premier Européen à descendre le fleuve Congo, supervise la construction de routes pour le gouvernement belge dès 1879. Anne Hugon nous précède dans les pas des grands explorateurs de l'Afrique sub-saharienne.

My book deals for the first time comprehensively with the techniques (and methodologies) of socio-cultural research in pre-modern societies. Contrary to prevailing opinion, it holds that some form of empirical research in these domains must have been present in all human groups, and every type of society, otherwise they would not have been able to adapt to other groups and to their own Internal changes. I distinguish between three basic research techniques: (1) travel, (2) the survey, and (3) the collection and interpretation of material objects.. Chapters I-III follow the development of these techniques from primitive societies via the early civilizations (exemplified by the Ancient near East, Egypt, Israel and the Greco-Roman world) and the Middle Ages to Early Modern Western Society. The mainstay of the book is the period from late humanism to the "scientific revolution" (circa 1570-1660),when all the techniques were refined and two of them (travel and collecting) were methodized. In that period also the age-old barriers against the accumulation of the research results and thus the development of socio-cultural sciences, namely secrecy and topicality, began to break down. I hold that all this contributed decisively to the hegemony of the west over all other World civilizations. Chapters IV-VIII deal with some special problems of the following period from the "scientific revolution" to the onset of Modernity (circa 1660-1800). They are closely interconnected and add some significant and lively details to the generalizations of chapters I-III.
