5. Goals of Anthropology
The goal of anthropology is to pursue a holistic
understanding of what it means to be human
by understanding the relationship between
human biology, language, and culture.
Produce new knowledge and new theories
about humankind and human behavior
7. Cultural Anthropology
Refers to the study of living people and their cultures including
variation and change. It deals with the description and analysis
of the form and styles and the social lives of past and present
ages.
study how people who share a common cultural system
organize and shape the physical and social world around them,
and are in turn shaped by those ideas, behaviors, and physical
environments.
Cultural anthropologists also study art, religion, migration,
mirriage, and family.
8. Linguistic anthropology
studies the nature of human languages in the context of
those cultures that developed them. Scholars in the field
seek to understand the social and cultural foundations
of language itself, while exploring how social and cultural
formations are grounded in linguistic practices.
Linguistic anthropologists study the ways in which
people negotiate, contest, and reproduce cultural forms
and social relations through language. They examine the
ways in which language provides insights into the nature
and evolution of culture and human society

Archaeology is the study of the human past using material
remains. These remains can be any objects that people

post-holes, are called features.

10. Biological Anthropology
deals with the evolution of humans, their variability, and
adaptations to environmental stresses. Using an evolutionary
perspective, we examine not only the physical form of humans
- the bones, muscles, and organs - but also how it functions to
allow survival and reproduction.
Within the field of biological anthropology there are many
different areas of focus. Paleoanthropology studies the
evolution of primates and hominids from the fossil record and
from what can be determined through comparative anatomy
and studies of social structure and behavior from our closest
living relatives
