内容説明

This book is the result of two projects. The first was to provide an introduction to anthropology for the curious, showing that anthropology is an activity which helps us to understand and deal with human and cultural social diversity. The second was an invitation to colleagues in anthropology and cognate disciplines, and it began from the question: "Why do humans have such diverse cultures and ways of life?". This book hopes to combine the readerships of those on the threshold of anthropology and those at its centre.
