Description

For one semester/quarter introductory courses in General Anthropology (Four Fields).

This text provides students with a comprehensive and scientific introduction to the four fields of anthropology. The book helps students understand humans in all their variety and why such variety exists. The new twelfth edition places an increased emphasis on immigration, migration and globalization.

The five sections of the text introduce students to anthropology, address the biological and cultural evolution of humans, introduce students to cultural variation, and show how anthropology can be applied beyond academia.
