"Anthropology is the study of humankind, otherwise known as Homo sapiens, the wise primate. It is about our history, our prehistory before written records, our biology, our language, our distribution of peoples all over the plan-et, and the cultural and social aspects of our existence. The methods we use on this journey are varied and eclectic—an unusual discipline.

It was by an old-style style anthropologist talking about his fieldwork in the Amazon. . . . " Click on the link below to access the assigned reading.
