Synopsis

Because of the increasing breadth and complexity of the field, most texts for introductory-level, general anthropology courses (so-called four-field courses) have tended to become longer and more detailed. In contrast, this concise book, authored by a physical anthropologist, offers a tightly managed amount of detail and a student-friendly narrative approach (explaining its topics through a clear sequence of ideas), while including all of the traditional topics in anthropology.
