This text illustrates how the insights, theories, and methods of anthropology have been applied to solving everyday human problems. It covers all four sub-fields of anthropology: physical, cultural, linguistics, and archeology. Unique coverage includes Applied Anthropology (Ch. 3), Genetics, Gender, and Race (Ch. 8), and North American Pre-History (Ch. 11). Two edited journal articles per chapter show applications of anthropology.

The Genesis of the Textile Industry from Adorned Nudity to Ritual Regaliadocuments and evaluates the changing role of fibre crafts and their evolving techniques of manufacture and also their ever-increasing wider application in the lives of the inhabitants of the earliest villages of the Ancient Near East. It is a broad-spectrum enquiry into fibre working in a broad swathe from Mesopotamia across Persia and Anatolia to the Nile Valley. It focuses, however, on the southern Levant from incipient sedentism in the Natufian culture, c.13,000 cal BCE to the Ghassulian culture, c.4500-3800/3700 cal BCE. This is the first comprehensive study addressing the fibre technologies of the southern Levant on a long chronological axis. Currently, fibre crafts play only a minor role in archaeological thinking. This research demonstrates the magnitude and also the indispensable role that fibre crafts have played in the quotidian events, activities and practices of the inhabitants of the region. It has created an awareness of the substantial, often invisible, presence of fibre-craft products which was hitherto lacking in archaeological thought.
