http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Anthropology

Extractions: Anthropology (from the Greek word = human) consists of the study of humankind (see genus Homo ). It is holistic in two senses: it is concerned with all humans at all times, and with all dimensions of humanity. Central to anthropology is the concept of culture and that our species has evolved a universal capacity to conceive of the world symbolically , to teach and learn such symbols socially, and to transform the world (and ourselves) based on such symbols. In the United States , anthropology is traditionally divided into four fields: physical anthropology , which studies primate behavior human evolution , and population genetics ; this field is also sometimes called biological anthropology cultural anthropology , (called social anthropology in the United Kingdom and now often known as socio-cultural anthropology ). Areas studied by cultural anthropologists include social networks, social behavior, kinship patterns, law, politics, ideology , religion, beliefs, patterns in production and consumption, exchange, socialization, gender, and other expressions of culture, with strong emphasis on the importance of fieldwork , i.e living among the social group being studied for an extended period of time;

Anthropology - LoveToKnow 1911
anthropology (Gr. ivOpcwiros man, and X6yos, theory or science), the science which, in its strictest sense, has as its object the study of man as a unit in the animal kingdom.
http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Anthropology

Extractions: ANTHROPOLOGY (Gr. ivOpcwiros man, and X6yos, theory or science), the science which, in its strictest sense, has as its object the study of man as a unit in the animal kingdom. It is distinguished from ethnology , which is devoted to the study of man as a racial unit, and from ethnography, which deals with the distribution of the races formed by the aggregation of such units. To anthropology, however, in its more general sense as the natural history of man, ethnology and ethnography may both be considered to belong, being related as parts to a whole. Various other sciences, in conformity with the above definition, must be regarded as subsidiary to anthropology, which yet hold their own independent places in the field of knowledge. Thus anatomy and physiology display the structure and functions of the human body, while psychology investigates the operations of the human mind. Philology deals with the general principles of language, as well as with the relations between the languages of particular races and nations. Ethics or moral science treats of man's duty or rules of conduct toward his fellow-men.
Forensic Anthropology
Introduction to this field by Terrie Winson.
http://www.anthro4n6.net/forensics/

Extractions: This site was designed by Terrie Winson to fulfill the requirements of a Forensic Chemistry course at Kutztown University . Its purpose is to provide other students with an overview of Forensic Anthropology and is not meant to be all-inclusive. Special thanks go to Dr. David Webb and Dr. Tom Betts for their encouragement and support. "Forensic anthropology is the application of the science of physical anthropology to the legal process. The identification of skeletal, badly decomposed, or otherwise unidentified human remains is important for both legal and humanitarian reasons. Forensic anthropologists apply standard scientific techniques developed in physical anthropology to identify human remains, and to assist in the detection of crime. Forensic anthropologists frequently work in conjunction with forensic pathologists, odontologists, and homicide investigators to identify a decedent, discover evidence of foul play, and/or the postmortem interval. In addition to assisting in locating and recovering suspicious remains, forensic anthropologists work to suggest the age, sex, ancestry, stature, and unique features of a decedent from the skeleton." Employment as a Forensic Anthropologist is as varied as there are crimes, people and places. After the attacks on September 11, 2001, Forensic Anthropologists were deployed to a base in Delaware to begin the tedious process of identifying bone fragments and teeth. They may be called upon to identify bones and bone fragments sitting in boxes in universities and museums. Sometimes these bones have been in storage for hundreds of years. More than likely, these will be noted to be Indian bones which will eventually need to be repatriated. An anthropologist may also pursue a career with the National Park Service.

http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Anthropology

Extractions: Anthropology (from the Greek word , "human" or "person") consists of the study of humanity (see genus Homo ). The discipline is a holistic study, concerned with all humans, at all times, in all humanity's dimensions. Anthropology is traditionally distinguished from other disciplines by its emphasis on cultural relativity, in-depth examination of context, and cross-cultural comparisons. More recently, it has also distinguished itself as a leader in culture critique and post-colonialism. Anthropology is methodologically diverse, using both qualitative and quantitative methods, such as firsthand case studies of living cultures , careful excavations of material remains, and interpretations of both living and extinct linguistic practices. In North America and other Western cultures, anthropology is traditionally broken down into four main divisions: physical anthropology, archaeology cultural anthropology , and linguistic anthropology. Each sub-discipline uses different techniques, taking different approaches to study human beings at all points in time. Through bringing together the results of all these endeavors humans can hope to better understand themselves, and learn to live in harmony, fulfilling their potential as individuals and societies, taking care of each other and the earth that is their home.
