Biological anthropology is the study of human structure, variation, and evolution. It has been radically transformed in recent years because of the virtual explosion of knowledge that has occurred in the natural sciences. In the past, much of what used to be called “physical anthropology” was largely descriptive and involved detailed accounts of human fossil discoveries, measurement of the human and primate skeleton, dissection of primate cadavers and description of their anatomy, and some field studies of behavior.

Archaeology is the study of past human cultures and is based on interpreting the physical remains that have been left behind: buildings; tombs; tools; and other objects of everyday life. Over the past 125 years, archaeology has developed a distinct methodology, somewhat akin to the work of detectives at a crime scene, for reconstructing the past from the material evidence. Although sharing with history a concern with the past, the focus in archaeology is more on what people actually did rather than on what they say they did in written texts.

Cultural anthropology is the cross-cultural study of contemporary human communities. Cultural anthropologists may investigate such phenomena as language, family structure, political organization, subsistence patterns, historical change, religious practices, and medical beliefs. Their findings are based on ethnographic fieldwork that may be conducted anywhere in the world, from a Himalayan village or a remote Pacific island to New York City or Kent, Ohio.
