Fox illustrates how anthropology must constantly learn from the natural and behavioral sciences. The Challenge of Anthropology takes the author's own work as a barometer of the state of discipline, and shows the range of possibilities anthropology offers. Fox covers a vast array of topics: the psychology of aggression, war, and ideology; Frazer and Virgil; social complexity; kinship and marriage, prejudice and cognition; mythology; and Marxism, among others.
