Description
Anthropology is the scientific study of humankind. It is the objective of this book to introduce students to this fascinating subject and the subfields into which it is divided. Students learn about the beginnings of anthropology as an outgrowth of the curiosity stimulated by the Age of Exploration and how it grew into the basic field of study it is today. Major developments and theories of outstanding anthropologists are presented.
Students gain insight into the origins and evolution of the human species, as well as an understanding of the evolution of human culture. They become aware of the wide variety of recent and contemporary societies. As they learn about the differences among peoples’ lifestyles and beliefs, however, they also learn that all peoples share certain basic needs. Perhaps most importantly, students come to realize that in spite of superficial differences, we are all members of a single human species!
The self-directed activities emphasize higher-level thinking skills and the activities have been keyed to Bloom’s taxonomy for your convenience. Although not so marked, other higher level skills, such as fluency, originality, and risk-taking are also encouraged.
The teacher's edition includes everything in the student edition plus answers and additional background information.
