I'm looking for a book recommendation on anthropology. I have almost no prior knowledge of the field. I'm after something roughly equivalent to what The Moral Animal was for evolutionary psychology: from-the-ground-up stuff that works by itself and doesn't assume assume significant background knowledge or further reading for a payoff. An easily accessible pop-writing approach à la The Moral Animal is a must-have; I can't read academic textbooks.
