Críticas:

I think that the text is acurrate and is very solid subjectwise. One of the outstanding features of the text are its charts and graphics. They are well thought out and nicely done. -Professor Paula Marshall-Gray, Midland College I liked the chronological perspective it develops moving from how we study the past, what we have learned of the past and what we see today. This presents humans and our ancestors as a continuum of changes. This approach shows the dynamic intersection of biology and culture which is a aspect I am always striving to emphasize to my students. -Professor Jennifer Fillion, Mott Community College

Reseña del editor:

A Brief Empirical Introduction to the Four Fields of Anthropology Human Evolution and Culture presents the highlights of the popular Anthropology, 13th edition by the same author team. It provides students with an empirical introduction to the four fields of anthropology, and helps them understand humans in all their variety - and why such variety exists. Its four sections introduce students to 1) anthropology, 2) the biological and cultural evolution of humans, 3) cultural variation, and 4) how anthropology can be applied beyond academia.
