Using state-of-the-art research, Anthropology: A Global Perspective introduces the four core subfields of anthropology alongside applied anthropology. This comprehensive text integrates material from each subfield and is founded on four essential themes: the diversity of human societies, the similarities that tie all humans together, the interconnections between the sciences and humanities, and a theme addressing psychological essentialism.

Authors Raymond Scupin and Christopher R. DeCorse demonstrate how anthropologists utilize specialized research techniques and methods to solve practical problems, illustrating the relevance of the discipline in improving human societies. Grounded in the belief that global awareness is essential for navigating the interconnected world of the twenty-first century, this textbook provides a supportive framework for understanding the human experience.

The extensively revised Ninth Edition features a new chapter dedicated to gender and sexuality, a refreshed visual design with updated photos and figures, and the latest findings in the field to ensure students are engaging with current anthropological discourse. This title serves as a complete teaching and learning package for those exploring the complexities of human culture, biology, and history.
