Someone should take the trouble to correct this article. Philosophical
anthropology is a branch of philosophy; it is not ethnography.
Feuerbach's LECTURES ON THE ESSENCE OF RELIGION, a work of capital
importance, may have relevance to anthropology based on Feuerbach's
analysis of the psychology and provenance of supernaturalism.
Feuerbach's work though is not anthropology as we know it.

Ludwig Andreas von Feuerbach (July 28, 1804 - September 13, 1872) was
a German philosopher and anthropologist best known for his book The
Essence of Christianity, which provided a critique of Christianity
which strongly influenced generations of later thinkers, including
both Karl Marx and Frederich Engels.
Feuerbach was the fourth son of the eminent jurist Paul Johann Anselm
Ritter von Feuerbach, brother of mathematician Karl Wilhelm Feuerbach
and uncle of painter Anselm Feuerbach.[1] An associate of Left
Hegelian circles, Feuerbach advocated liberalism, atheism and
materialism. Many of his philosophical writings offered a critical
analysis of religion. His thought was influential in the development
of dialectical materialism,[2] where he is often recognized as a
bridge between Hegel and Marx.[3]
