This new edition offers a variety of clearly written and readily accessible
articles from the Smithsonian's highly acclaimed, award-winning publication
"AnthroNotes." Some of the world's leading anthropologists explore fundamental
questions humans ask about themselves as individuals, as societies, and as a
species. The articles reveal the richness and breadth of anthropology, covering
not only the fundamental subjects but also the changing perspectives of
anthropologists over the 150-year history of their field. Illustrated with
original cartoons by anthropoligst Robert L. Humphrey, "Anthropology Explored"
opens up to lay readers, teachers, and students a discipline as varied and
fascinating as the cultures it observes.
