What studies anthropology?

Answer 1

Anthropology is the broad study of humankind around the world and throughout time. It is concerned with both the biological and the cultural aspects of humans. Included in anthropology are four main subdivisions:

Biological (or Physical) Anthropology

Mechanisms of biological evolution, genetic inheritance, human adaptability and variation, primatology, and the fossil record of human evolution.

Cultural Anthropology

Culture, ethnocentrism, cultural aspects of language and communication, subsistence and other economic patterns, kinship, sex and marriage, socialization, social control, political organization, class, ethnicity, gender, religion, and culture change.

Archaeology

Prehistory and early history of cultures around the world; major trends in cultural evolution; and techniques for finding, excavating, dating, and analyzing material remains of past societies.

Answer 2

Anthropology is the study of human beings, by human begins... Needless to say it's a rather flawed science. Those human beings that study the rest of us are known as Anthropologists.

Answer 3

anthropology is the study of man
In the U.S., it has four subfields: archaeology, physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistics.
In most of the rest of the world, it is the same, sans archaeology.
So, anthropologists can study stuff like the material remains of past cultures, human origins, primate behavior, human remains [including forensic anthropology], any aspects of culture [including religion, gender, social structure, political structure, and economics], language structure, and language's relation to cultures.

Answer 4

Answer 6

I hear monkeys are fascinated by it, but that could just be a bastardization of the word when it's, in fact, chimps.
