Dr. Richard Jones of the Lee University anthropology program recently published two articles in Twenty-First Century Anthropology: A Reference Book. The collection, which is edited by Jamie Birx of the Encyclopedia of Anthropology, is put out by Sage Publications and serves as a reference text for undergraduate students seeking a topical overview. The two-volume collection contains 107 planned essays.
Jones has two essays ready to be published in the collection. The first, “Kinship Systems”, is an overview of how kinship studies have changed and developed between the late nineteenth century and now. It deals with marriage, family, and kinship classification systems.
Jones’ second article, “Values in Anthropology”, discusses what makes anthropology what it is, arguing for it as a science. Anthropology began as a science and remains one, although it contains humanistic elements.
