understanding many different aspect of
human experience, which we call HOLISM.
4 MAJOR CATEGORIES
OF ANTHROPOLOGY
 ARCHEOLOGY

-the scientific study of the material remains of

past human life and activities. These include
human artifacts from the very earliest stone tools,
ecofacts, structures, and features associated with
human activity.
THREE MAIN BRANCHES OF ARCHEOLOGY

•Prehistoric archaeology -cultures that do

not have writing
•Protohistoric archaeology -cultures that
have incomplete records
•Historic archaeology -cultures that have
well-developed historical records
LINGGUISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY

-Focuses on language and its importance to

understanding human history, culture and biology.
-Shares many overlapping interests with linguistics
in general but is characterized by an emphasis on
fieldwork and connections to larger
anthropological understandings of humans.
 BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY

-Study of human biological variation and evolution.

-It includes three main areas:
• Human biology
• Primatology
• Paleonthropologists
 CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY

traditions of societies around the world, including:

 THE SELF AND PERSON IN
CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY

> One definition of self in modern anthropology

characterizes the term in its most general ordinary
and everyday use.
> It focuses on understanding the human condition
in its cultural aspect.
THE SELF EMBEDDED IN CULTURE.

Goldschmidt’s culturally embedded self is motivated by

the “ pursuit of prestige in the context of community
values. “ Belk (1988) identifies the “core self” as that
which is unique to the individual as opposed to traits or
characteristics that are common across family, group,
nation or culture.
