Anthropology: What Does it Mean to Be Human’
Canadian EditionThe only introductory anthropology book adapted for Canadian students, Anthropology, 2Ce continues to follow a question-oriented approach that illuminates major concepts in the field while also helping students see the relevance of anthropology in today’s world. With a mix of international and Canadian examples, this textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the four major subfields of anthropology -biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and cultural anthropology – giving students a balanced overview of anthropology both at home and abroad.
The second edition now features 16 chapters (formerly 15 chapters) to better reflect how the course is taught. A new chapter on Sex, Gender, and Sexuality has been added and the content on human origins and the evolution of Homo sapiens has been split into two chapters. The chapter on globalization
from the first edition has been removed, with content redistributed to other chapters as appropriate. The other chapters in the book have been thoroughly updated with expanded Canadian and Indigenous content. The second edition also features more “Ethno Profile” and “In Their Own Words” boxes that
introduce students to a wide-range of topics, peoples, and perspectives.ISBN: 9780199032563, 0199032564
