American Anthropology

Ryan Adamsof IUPUI
(Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis)
best summarized the case . . .
So why studyThe Anthropology of
The Peoples and Cultures of Europe?
And lots of people find these topics interesting . . .
There have been 323,090+page views of the UMD
Anthropology of Europe WebPages in the four of years . . .

So . . . we’re going to have a look at . . .

in this tradition there are a few basic characteristics of anthropology to
keep in mind . . .
1. the four fields of general anthropology
2. culture as a primary concept
3. comparative method as majorapproach to the study of human behavior
4. holism or the study of "humankind" as awhole, as a primary theoretical goal
5. fieldwork as a primary researchtechnique, involving “participant observation”
