Overview
Anthropology is the comparative study of human ways of life through the meticulous study of societies and cultures around the world. In this course we introduce some of the key topics of contemporary anthropological inquiry: What is Anthropology? What do anthropologists do? What is ethnography? How do people relate to their environment? How are people linked together in systems of gift-giving and exchange? How do people shape their lives in the course of consuming material things? How do people construct law and government?
