Who are we? What is it about our species that sets us apart from every other living creature, past and present, on this planet? These are perennially compelling questions about human evolution and development that continue to cudgel the best brains on earth. Anthropology seeks to understand the roots of our common humanity, the diversity of cultures and world-views, and the organization of social relations and practices. If you only have 30 seconds, that is enough time – by reading this book – to meet the ancestors and master the basic ideas, personalities, controversies and future directions of the study of humankind.

30-Second Anthropology explores humanity through 50 key biological and social topics, revealing how we have evolved from chimp-like ancestors to being able to send rockets to Mars. The human brain is the most complex organ in the known universe and has allowed us to use tools and develop amazing technologies to manage our planet and our lives.

Being human is also how we interact, and here you can discover how we organize our communities, why rituals and ceremonies are important to us, and why we have developed diverse and complex belief systems. 30-Second Anthropology is the fastest way to understand what it means to be human.
