4MAJOR SUBFIELDS OF ANTHRO:
Linguistics;Archaeology;Sociocultural; Biological
1 Biological or Physical Anthropology least likely to study insect fossils human palaeontology and human variation others are interested how and why contemporary human populations vary biologically and interactions bet biology, environment and behaviour
2 Archaeology reconstruct daily life of ancient people and customsand explains cultural changes
3 Socio-Cultural Anthropology study of recent or contemporary cultures

APPLIED ANTHRO - field attempt to produce practical results for modern-day problems, based on anthro research; practices all subfields of Anthro
Archaeologist - compared to a historian, they are more likely to study cultures older than 5000YEARS!
Biocultural Model - human biological diversity is interrelated to changes on social environmental conditions
Ethnohistorians - investigate written documents and study the way in w/c cultures have changed over time.
Ethnocentric - Culture bound; studies own society
Homo Sapiens - Only Hominid species alive today
