Biological anthropology is a diverse field, with countless research
methods and techniques in different sub-disciplines. This book
takes a critical perspective to the current state of the field,
exploring theory and practice in paleoanthropology, bioarchaeology,
and ecology. Contributors challenge how evidence is discovered,
collected and interpreted, and explain that researchers gain
insights by de-familiarizing themselves from well-known methods and
taking a different perspective - 'making the familiar strange'. The
book covers how researchers' biases and assumptions affect the
interpretation of topics such as human evolution and population
movements; race, health, and disability; bodies and embodiment; and
landscapes and ecology. A final chapter includes a critical
assessment of new thinking about technology, in addition to the
multilayered and complex nature of both research questions and
evidence. This is an insightful text for researchers and graduate
students in anthropology, biology, ecology, history and philosophy
of science.
