Introduction to Cultural Anthropology: A Global Perspective acquaints readers with the cultural discipline of anthropological studies. The text recognizes that in the nature of our 21st century world, humans need a much greater capacity for understanding different cultures than ever before. By examining classical and current research, the text brings readers closer to the theories, data, and critical thinking skills needed to understand global humanity.
The Ninth Edition takes a comparative and interdisciplinary approach in its evaluation of topics such as human evolution, language divergence, and social developments throughout the world. By introducing readers to different perspectives of this global topic, the text provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of cultural anthropology.
