OER: Open Educational Resources

Discovering Cultural Anthropology is an open educational resource suitable for an introductory course on cultural or social anthropology.
It is comprised of original work by Antonia M. Santangelo along with adapted / remixed material from Perspectives: An Open Introduction to Cultural Anthropology (Second Edition) by Nina Brown, Thomas McIlwraith, Laura Tubelle de González under the CC BY-NC 4.0 copyright license.

"Where did we come from? What were our ancestors like? Why do we differ from other animals? How do scientists trace and construct our evolutionary history? The Evolution of Our Tribe: Hominini provides answers to these questions and more. The book explores the field of paleoanthropology past and present. Beginning over 65 million years ago, Welker traces the evolution of our species, the environments and selective forces that shaped our ancestors, their physical and cultural adaptations, and the people and places involved with their discovery and study. It is designed as a textbook for a course on Human Evolution but can also serve as an introductory text for relevant sections of courses in Biological or General Anthropology or general interest. It is both a comprehensive technical reference for relevant terms, theories, methods, and species and an overview of the people, places, and discoveries that have imbued paleoanthropology with such fascination, romance, and mystery."

"Welcome to the second edition of Perspectives and Open Access Anthropology! We are delighted to bring to you this novel textbook, a collection of chapters on the essential topics in cultural anthropology. Different from other introductory textbooks, this book is an edited volume with each chapter written by a different author. Each author has written from their experiences working as an anthropologist and that personal touch makes for an accessible introduction to cultural anthropology." - works with ANT 101
