Hello!!
I don’t post on reddit often so sorry if i seem a bit clueless/in the wrong place 🙂
I am applying for a degree which contains a cultural/social anthropological element to it.
However, while I find what I have researched fascinating my knowledge of anthropology is limited and I am a complete novice in this field.
I was wondering if you helpful and wonderful people could summarise for me some basic but core concepts/terms/people in cultural anthropology so I can build a bit of an understanding of the field? Even just some pointers to helpful resources would be much appreciated!
Many Thanks!

I remember when I just entered my masters, my professor suggested this book to us as a novice to Anthropology. Book -'The Art of Being Human' by Michael Wesch. Michael Wesch is a great educator, he has written this book in very lucid language and explained things in a very comprehensive manner. Do give it a try, it'll help. Any further help, never hesitate to DM. Good Luck in advance. Here is the link for the book: https://anth101.com/book/[1]
