The third edition of Humans Unmasked is intended to provide students with an engaging introduction to the discipline of cultural anthropology as a distinct way to understand people in societies around the world and why they do the things they do. Students will explore how people make a living in very different (sometimes hostile) environments, how they organize themselves into various groups, how they communicate with one another, and how they make sense of the world around them.
