This lively and provocative book casts an anthropological eye on the field of science in a wideranging and innovative discussion that integrates philosophy history sociology and autoethnography Jonathan Marks examines biological anthropology the history of the life sciences and the literature of science studies while upending common understandings of science and culture with a mixture of anthropology common sense and disarming humor Science Marks argues is widely accepted to be three things a method of understanding and a means of establishing facts about the universe the facts themselves and a voice of authority or a locus of cultural power This triple identity creates conflicting roles and tensions within the field of science and leads to its record of instructive successes and failures Among the topics Marks addresses are the scientific revolution science as thought and performance creationism scientific fraud and modern scientific racism Applying his considerable insight energy and wit Marks sheds new light on the evolution of science its role in modern culture and its challenges for the twentyfirst century.

The life history of a Japanese village—and its anthropology a virtual lecture by William W.

A 19th century scholar who developed the evolutionary approach. Pioneered the comparative study of culture. Sir Edward B. Tylor . This book looks at the \'self\' in Western, Asian and African societies passing though Greek philosophy, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confuscism, Tao and African philosophy and ending with contemporary feminism. Scholarly and written in a lucid style, free of jargon, this work is written from an anthropological perspective with an interdisciplinary approach. Morris emphasises the varying conceptions of the self found cross-culturally and contrasts these with the conceptions found in the Western intellectual traditions. The Routledge Handbook of Medical Anthropology provides a contemporary overview of the key themes in medical anthropology. In this exciting departure from conventional handbooks, compendia and encyclopedias, the three editors have written the core chapters of the volume, and in so doing, invite the reader to reflect on the ethnographic richness and theoretical contributions of research on the clinic and the field, bioscience and medical research, infectious and non-communicable diseases, biomedicine, complementary and alternative modalities, structural violence and vulnerability, gender and ageing, reproduction and sexuality. As a way of illustrating the themes, a rich variety of case studies are included, presented by over 60 authors from around the world, reflecting the diverse cultural contexts in which people experience health, illness, and healing. Each chapter and its case studies are introduced by a photograph, reflecting medical and visual anthropological responses to inequality and vulnerability. An indispensible reference in this fastest growing area of anthropological study, The Routledge Handbook of Medical Anthropology is a unique and innovative contribution to the field. All humans share certain components of tooth structure, but show variation in size and morphology around this shared pattern. This book presents a worldwide synthesis of the global variation in tooth morphology in recent populations. Research has advanced on many fronts since the publication of the first edition, which has become a seminal work on the subject. This revised and updated edition introduces new ideas in dental genetics and ontogeny and summarizes major historical problems addressed by dental morphology. The detailed descriptions of 29 dental variables are fully updated with current data and include details of a new web-based application for using crown and root morphology to evaluate ancestry in forensic cases. A new chapter describes what constitutes a modern human dentition in the context of the hominin fossil record. 1 Physical / Biological Anthropology Emergence o f Modern Human a nd Their Dispersal Paper No. : 01 Physical / Biological Anthropology Module : 09 Emergences of Modern Human and Dispersal Prof
