What is Anthropology?

[From the American Anthropological Association web site]:

"Anthropology is the study of humans, past and present. Historically, anthropologists in the United States have been trained in one of four areas: sociocultural anthropology, biological/physical anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. Anthropologists often integrate the perspectives of several of these areas into their research, teaching, and professional lives." Source: Sociocultural Anthropology, Biological (or Physical) Anthropology, Archaeology & Linguistic Anthropology
