Designed to explain posthumanism to those outside of academia, this
brief and accessible book makes an original argument about
anthropology's legacy as a study of "more than human." Smart and
Smart return to the holism of classic ethnographies where cattle,
pigs, yams, and sorcerers were central to the lives that were
narrated by anthropologists, but they extend the discussion to
include contemporary issues like microbiomes, the Anthropocene, and
nano-machines, which take holism beyond locally bounded spaces.
They outline what a holism without boundaries could look like, and
what anthropology could offer to the knowledge of more-than-human
nature in the past, present, and future.
