Description
Anthropology's guiding principles and methodology are explored in this engaging overview of the field. The authors discuss anthropology's most important contributions, including its investigation of culture as a distinctively human characteristic, its doctrine of cultural relativism, and its methodology of fieldwork and ethnography. Examples from the authors' own fieldwork in Indonesia and Mesoamerica illustrate how social and cultural anthropology has advanced our understanding of human society and culture. This introduction will provide a fascinating insight into the subject for anyone curious about anthropology.
