Misanthropology: Science, Pseudoscience, and the Study of Humanity
introduces students to key concepts in critical thinking across the
four core branches of anthropology: cultural, linguistic,
biological, and archaeological. It combines a critical analysis of
anthropology as a field with current concepts in scientific
skepticism. By deconstructing a range of global case studies in
which anthropological research runs aground, the book teaches
students to distinguish between legitimate science and
pseudoscience. It covers key concepts in critical thinking and
rigorous research, such as cognitive biases and logical fallacies,
data collection and consensus, probabilistic thinking, as well as
political, nationalist, racist biases. Students learn not only how
to apply these concepts to anthropological research and fieldwork,
but also to their consumption of everyday information. This book
will appeal to anthropology students and will be particularly
useful for instructors of introductory anthropology courses, as
well as instructors of courses across the humanities and social
sciences focused on inculcating critical thinking skills.
