The Anthropology pages of Living Anthropologically use anthropological studies to comment on contemporary issues and ideas. The chapters cross-reference current blog posts and other resources. They are best used as a complement to traditional anthropology courses and textbooks.

My preferred four-field textbook is Anthropology: What Does it Mean to be Human? by Lavenda and Schultz. I’ve compiled a 2018 Introduction to Anthropology course outline based on this textbook here: Anthropology 2018. I have also compiled an Intro to Anthro 2018 course outline based on Anthropology: Asking Questions about Human Origins, Diversity, and Culture by Welsch,‎ Vivanco,‎ and Fuentes.

Part 1: Biological Anthropology: Human Nature, Race, Evolution

Explores biological anthropology, emphasizing biology and evolution as dynamic processes and anthropological documentation of human possibility. These sections are also available on Amazon as a Kindle eBook, Anthropology I: Human Nature, Race, Evolution in Biological Anthropology. (I have been unable to update the Kindle edition since 2012-2013. I am still working on updates to the webpages, which I plan to reassemble in book form.)

Anthropology only form the part of social anthropology. This is clear from the aforesaid discussion about the scope of social anthropology. But familial anthropology and political anthropology are closely related to the other branches. American anthropologist, Morgan, was the founder of social anthropology. Aug 26, 2015 - PDF On Jan 1, 2016, Christopher DeCorse and others published. A general anthropology textbook including biological anthropology,.

These pages on Biological Anthropology begin with an overview about the place of anthropology in the Western idea of human nature. Ideas about human nature became increasingly entwined with ideas of evolution and race. These sections attempt to retell the story of evolution from an anthropological perspective, questioning previous notions of biological race. There are also short summaries of insights from primatology, from the recent discoveries of interbreeding with archaic Homo species, and the emergence of anatomically modern humans. The concluding section is a call to adopt a biocultural perspective on human nature and human evolution.

Part 2: Archaeology: Domesticaton, Agriculture, and Civilization

These pages explore Archaeology from the domestication of plants and animals through the rise of states and empires. Several of these sections concentrate on countering the perspective of Jared Diamond, who has become a ubiquitous pseudo-archaeologist and supplanted real accounts of archaeology and history. Instead, anthropology demonstrates the complexity of hunting and gathering as well as the complex processes known as domestication. This allows us to provide an accurate account of the past, useful for truly understanding the rise of powerful societies and eventual European colonialism.

The archaeology sections begin at the point when Homo sapiens populated all the habitable continents. Although there are periods of separation, especially between Eurasia and the Americas, archaeology always reveals human connection, trade, and migration. These sections therefore include the creation of a global economy in the 15th century as well as the industrial globalization of the 19th century. These processes are crucial to understand the emergence of academic anthropology and the idea of culture. (For more on a perspective of interconnection and teaching Introduction to Anthropology, see The Discovery of Sidney Mintz: Anthropology’s Unfinished Revolution.)

Part 3: Cultural Anthropology: Culture, Cultures, and Cultural Relativism

These sections explore the anthropological idea of culture. Academic anthropology began within a world already shaped by the colonial encounter. Anthropologists launched the idea of culture as a way to counter the racist and determinist justifications for that social order. These sections also trace how the concept of Culture was turned into the idea of plural cultures. We must now bid “Adieu Culture” (Trouillot, Global Transformations).

Part 4: The Possibilities of Introduction to Anthropology

An Introduction to Anthropology documents human life through Biological Anthropology, Archaeology, and Cultural Anthropology. However, an Introduction to Anthropology is also about understanding the ways in which we can use anthropology to think about future possibilities. For some examples see:

• Sex, Gender, Sexuality – as Social Constructions. This post is one of the most viewed on the site, perhaps because people are eager to hear an anthropological perspective on these issues.
• Anthropology: Worst Major for Corporate Tool, Best Major to Change Your Life. This post challenges ideas about the anthropology major being the “worst” for your career.
• Anthropology, Moral Optimism, and Capitalism: A Four-Field Manifesto. This post became a founding document for Living Anthropologically and was one of the first posts to “go viral.”
