In this illuminating tour of humanity, Joy Hendry and Simon
Underdown reveal the origins of our species, and the fabric of
human society, through the discipline of anthropology. Via
fascinating case studies and discoveries, they unravel our
understanding of human behaviours and beliefs, including how
witchcraft has been used to justify misfortune, and debunk
old-fashioned ideas about "race" based upon the latest genetic
research. They even share what our bathroom tells us about our
concept of the body - and ourselves. From our evolutionary
ancestors, through our rites of passage, to our responses to
globalization, Hendry and Underdown provide the essential first
step to understanding the world as an anthropologist would - in all
its diversity and commonality.
