Wendy James explores the concept of social form as a fundamental aspect of anthropology, drawing on Wittgenstein's idea of humans as 'ceremonial animals.' Her engaging narrative combines ethnographic examples with historical sources and contemporary insights from various disciplines, including archaeology, genetics, and psychology. By connecting anthropology to critical global issues like migration and religious fundamentalism, she demonstrates its relevance in today's world. This overview is accessible to both specialists and general readers, enhanced by a Foreword from Michael J. Lambek.
