*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*The riveting story of a small circle of renegade anthropologists who redefined race, sex, gender and normality in the twentieth century. These pioneers - most of them women - made intrepid journeys into distant or isolated communities across the world, where they observed and documented radically different social approaches that overturned Western assumptions about human diversity and challenged the era' s scientific consensus. Here, the boundary-breaking lives and achievements of Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, Ella Deloria and Zora Neale Hurston are brought fully into light for the first time. The Reinvention of Humanity takes us on their global adventures and shows how, together, their trailblazing discoveries helped shape the moral universe we inhabit today.
