Anthropology: The Four Subfieldss Of Anthropology

Anthropology is a very broad field of study that, to perform accurate study, has necessitated breaking the field into four subfields. "Anthropology is the holistic study human-kind; it searches for interrelationships among all the parts of its subject" (Park 2015, p.15). Humans, as a species, are very complex and therefore the four subfields of anthropology are utilized to further our understanding by focusing on certain aspects of the interrelated study of mankind. To understand a society, every aspect of that society needs to be examined; where they came from, how that society interacted with their environment and each other and how they communicated with each other as well. Therefore, the four four subfields of anthropology are utilized.
