Anthropology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Anthropology is the study of the anatomical and mental composition of humanity through the examination of historical and present geographical distribution, cultural history, acculturation, and cultural relationships. [1] It is holistic in two senses: it is concerned with all human beings at all times and with all dimensions of humanity.

In principle, it is concerned with all institutions of all societies. Since the work of Franz Boas and Bronislaw Malinowski in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, anthropology has been distinguished from other social science disciplines by its emphasis on cultural relativity, in-depth examination of context, cross-cultural comparisons, and the importance it places on long-term, experiential immersion in the area of research, often known as participant-observation.

In the United States, and to a lesser extent in Britain and other English-speaking countries, anthropology has often been traditionally conceived of as comprising four related fields of study:

Biological or physical anthropology seeks to understand the physical human being through the study of genetics, inherited traits and variations thereof, evolution, adaptation, etc. Subfields or related fields include primatology, nutritional anthropology, and human and population genetics.
Socio-cultural anthropology is the investigation, often through long term, intensive field studies, of the culture and social organization of a particular people: language, economic and political organization, kinship, gender relations, religion, mythology, symbolism, etc. (U.S. universities more often use the term cultural anthropology; British universities have tended to call the corresponding field social anthropology, and for much of the 20th century emphasized the analysis of social organization more than cultural symbolism.) In some European countries, socio-cultural anthropology is known as ethnology (a term also used in English-speaking countries to denote the comparative aspect of socio-cultural anthropology.) Subfields and related fields include psychological anthropology, folklore, anthropology of religion, ethnic studies, and cultural studies.
Linguistic anthropology seeks to understand the processes of human communications, verbal and non-verbal; it identifies the many subtle elements of the world's languages, and documents their structure, function and history. Linguistic anthropologists often draw on related fields including semiotics, cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis, and narrative analysis.
Archaeology is the study of materials that have attributes resulting from human activity. This study involves a wide variety of field techniques (remote sensing, survey, geophysical studies, coring, excavation) and laboratory procedures (compositional analyses, dating studies (radiocarbon, Optically stimulated luminescence dating), measures of formal variability, examination of wear patterns, residue analyses, etc.); archaeologists predominately studies materials produced by prehistoric groups but also includes modern, historical and ethnographic populations.
In countries of the British Commonwealth, social anthropology has often been institutionally separate from physical anthropology and primatology, which may be connected with departments of biology or zoology; and from archaeology, which may be connected with departments of Classics, Egyptology, and the like. In various times and places, anthropologists have also found themselves institutionally linked with scholars of folklore, museum studies, geography, sociology, social relations, ethnic studies, and cultural studies.

Some anthropologists have used anthropological studies to frame cultural critiques. This has been particularly prominent in America, from the popular critiques of Victorianism by Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict through contemporary attacks on post-colonialism under the heading of postmodernism.

Anthropology is a methodologically diverse discipline, incorporating both qualitative methods and quantitative methods. Ethnographies—intensive case studies based on field research—have historically had a central place in the literature of the discipline. Currently, advancements across the scientific disciplines such as in physics and chemistry have aided anthropologists in their efforts to better understand all of humanity. Radiocarbon dating is just one of many technologies used regularly in the field of anthropology.
