<p>This article discusses the main stages that have marked the<br />origin and the development of the various Anthropological disciplines in<br />Ukraine. From the seventeen-century onwards, several texts containing<br />the notes of the foreign travellers on the Ukrainian territories and their<br />inhabitants started to be discovered. Furthermore, over the next two centuries,<br />the Ukrainian lands became the focus of study not only for Ukrainian<br />scholars, geographers and linguists, but also for poets and painters, who often<br />enjoyed adding ethnographic nuances to their stories. A crucial contribution<br />was also provided by different institutions, namely universities, scientific<br />societies and amateur associations, for which the interest in the demo-ethno-<br />anthropological disciplines became stronger and even more evident.</p>
