Introducing Anthropology: What Makes Us Human? by Laura Pountney

The first book of its kind to offer a fully accessible - yet still serious - beginner's-level introduction to anthropology. Takes seriously a commitment to encouraging a new generation of anthropologists and to communicating the excitement of this fascinating subject.
"A lively and comprehensive introduction to a broad range of anthropological themes, peppered with ethnographic examples showcasing the diversity of human lives and societies, this book fills a gap and not only reveals the knowledge contributions of anthropology but also gives a hint of its magic" Thomas Hylland Eriksen, University of Oslo "A thorough introduction to anthropology which is as engaging as it is informative. A must-read for all students starting in the subject, as well as an excellent book for those who simply want to know more about the subject matter and methods of anthropology." Dave Latham, Birmingham Metropolitan College "A classroom text written by teachers for teachers. I cannot recommend it highly enough." David Shankland, Director, Royal Anthropological Institute

Laura Pountney was a senior examiner for Anthropology​ and delivers teaching training for secondary education.
