A deep dive into the science and methodology of anthropology!
What makes us human? Is it language? Technology? Arts? Medicine?
Yes--all of those! In Anthropology: The Science of Being Human, young anthropologists explore several kinds of anthropology, including biological anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Each of these fields includes significant items and events that show moments in time when the human race adapted to a changing world in a way that exemplifies the human experience. Pompeii, the Rosetta Stone, Olduvai Gorge, the Neanderthal genome, the internet--studied through the lens of anthropology, these things and events are evidence of how resilience and adaptability offer new ways of understanding ourselves and our relationships.
Stories about past and current civilizations, key figures who made discoveries in the field, and interesting facts about the technology used to support the field of anthropology invite readers to dive deep into the story of culture! Learn about the science of anthropology through a compelling narrative, links to online videos and primary sources, essential questions, text-to-world observations, hands-on STEM activities, and colorful illustrations and photographs.
Additional materials include a glossary, a list of media for further learning, a selected bibliography, and index. All books are leveled for Guided Reading level and Lexile and align with Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
