Best anthropology books, from Jane Goodall to John Green

Anthropology is broadly defined as the scientific study of humanity, of which there are naturally countless subsections.

From human behaviour, biology and culture to the exploration of how societies form and collapse, the study of linguistics, archaeology, gender roles and so much more; one could go so far as to argue that any non-fiction book can be interpreted through an anthropological lens. Anthropology is humanity, and humanity is anthropology.
