The Royal Anthropological Institute’s Education Committee (in collaboration with teachers, anthropologists and publishing houses), is continously working to expand the selection of teaching materials available.
Anthropology Beginner’s Guides
Anthropologists Joy Hendry and Simon Underdown offer the first introductory guide to explore both the biological and social approaches to the study of humanity, from the roots of humankind, through the traits that all humans share, to the vast range of our sacred rituals.
Covering key study topics, including hierarchy, social identity, rites of passage, and the impact of globalization, this is the essential first step to understanding anthropology- for pre-university students, undergraduates, and anyone new to anthropology.
