Document Summary
Canadians tend to neglect the study of our own heritage. Anthropologists have worked with many first nations, learning their way of life and culture. Anthropologists have identi ed certain religious communities throughout canada. This is one of the rst anthropological textbooks that uses canadian examples used so that. Canadian research in the past has been considered not important enough to make a research textbook on it. Actually written from a canadian point of view. Preoccupations of anthropologists include: palaeontologists, primatologists, medical anthropologists (nutrition, diseases and mental health) Fieldwork: working an extended period of time observing a culture. Participant observation aka a year or more in a different location. Social relationships, so on a smaller scale. How humans react to every single thing were exposed to. Archaeology is the study of the physical remains of past human activities or behaviours. How did we live in the past and how it has changed over time.
