    Ooooh – which textbook is this from? Having done some editing work on a couple physical anthropology textbooks, I’m really curious!

      It’s from Anthropology: The Human Challenge, by William A. Haviland.

        I’m taking an Anthropology class in college, and I have a Haviland textbook. Not that one, but still, scary to think what mistakes I might find.

        Wow. I’m surprised something so amateurish is from a “legitimate” textbook. H.C. Raven would be rolling in his grave.

        dude, my ex-girlfiend’s (deliberate!) little brother had this book in his elementary class- I remember this

    There was a time when I would constantly misspell that word as well. That word…even now I’m afraid to type it out.

    Tongue IS a sort of hard word to spell… considering the ue is kind of… what word am I looking for… unnecessary?

    But the fact it’s a textbook and some person should have caught it… eh…

    Looks more like a project poster than a textbook spread. Poor composition and inconsistently aligned text.

    Typo probably. I would blame the editor.

    Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My website addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!
