It seamlessly blends a critical examination of anthropology as a discipline with contemporary insights into scientific skepticism. Through the deconstruction of a diverse array of global case studies where anthropological research encounters challenges, the book equips students with the skills to differentiate between legitimate science and pseudoscience. It encompasses essential concepts in critical thinking and rigorous research, including cognitive biases, logical fallacies, data collection and consensus, probabilistic reasoning, as well as political, nationalist, and racist biases. By imparting these principles, the book not only empowers students to apply them to anthropological research and fieldwork but also to their daily information consumption. This textbook is particularly appealing to anthropology students and serves as an invaluable resource for instructors teaching introductory anthropology courses, as well as courses across the humanities and social sciences aimed at fostering critical thinking skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 296g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 151 x 229 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032231778\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sean M.Rafferty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104724414714,"sku":"9781032231778","price":38.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1665766246867_book.jpg?v=1665932357","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/misanthropology-science-pseudoscience-and-the-study-of-humanity-9781032231778","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
