answers1: Why is it that human beings nevertheless insist that
evolution isn't a fact? Is it because of fact it extremely is named
the "concept" of evolution? if it extremely is the case, then they
actually would desire to lookup using using the be conscious concept
in technological information. They nevertheless would desire to call
gravity concept- regardless of understanding that it extremely is a
fact. not something in technological information is upgraded from
concept to regulation. all of us be attentive to there became A, and
all of us be attentive to there became Z- and all of us be attentive
to extraordinarily plenty all the middle bit. the belief comes into
why A replaced into Z. The mechanisms for it. If we at the instant are
not animals, why are we so comparable-hearts, lungs, palms, ft, eyes,
ears, legs, and so on. If we've been "particular" why did God
difficulty making our "innards", he would have clicked his hands and
we could have "worked". we are animals, the only factor keeping apart
us from others is our intelligence- yet it is basically our primal
protection. some animals have venom, some fabulous experience on
odor/eye factors of interest, and so on.
answers2: thank you everyone for the answers!
answers3: Anthropology is literally, from Latin, the science of
humans. There are four branches of anthropology: cultural
anthropology, linguistic anthropology, archaeology and biological
anthropology. Archaeology is mainly history-oriented, but the other
three branches are highly scientific, with a sociological flare.
Cultural anthropology is the study of cultures. In other words, a
cultural anthropologist can go live with an Amazonian tribe and record
everything about their culture. A lot of observational skills are
required, and it's necessary to avoid all possible bias. Those same
principles can be applied to any of the physical sciences (chemistry,
physics, etc.) as well. Linguistic anthropology focuses on the
science of words and languages. In other words, it is the study of
how, for example, English evolved out of the mash-up of Latin and
various Germanic dialects. Linguistic anthropologists must know a
TREMENDOUS amount of etymology. Biological anthropology is the most
obviously scientific of the lot, as it's the study of human evolution.
Biological anthropologists often spend extended periods of time
studying advanced primates and relating their actions to our own
actions. <br>

answers4: I've already more or less answered this in my response to
your other question ( <a
href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnOgbr.HVIeMzo8KtHEQWv7sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091126065634AAecyEu"class=Clr-b>http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...</a>
), but I just want to point this out for you: <br>
<br>
If you're being asked a question with that exact wording, you're
likely going to want to answer from Eric Wolf's perspective, since the
question comes from his famous quotation in his 1964 book
"Anthropology." It will obviously depend on your specific instructor,
but if I were your professor, I would grade you down if you didn't
give him credit for being the first to say it that way. His full
quotation is: <br>
<br>
"[Anthropology] is less a subject matter than a bond between subject
matters. It is in part history, part literature; in part natural
science, part social science; it strives to study men both from within
and without; it represents both a manner of looking at man and a
vision of man—the most scientific of the humanities, the most humanist
of sciences." <br>
<br>
If you visit <a
href="http://archaeology.about.com/od/amthroughanterms/qt/anthropology_def.htm"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://archaeology.about.com/od/amthroug...</a>
, you will find a lot of quotations (including Wolf's) that you can
source in your response. I would suggest using that instead of
relying on homework help here. ;) In addition, you might want to try
using the Homework Help category ( <a
href="http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/index?link=list&sid=396545134"class=Clr-b>http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/index?link=...</a>
) in the future. Good luck with your assignment. <br>
<br>
Additionally, just to clarify a little bit about what my future fellow
anthropologist said...archaeology is, in reality, one of the most
scientific fields of anthropology. Linguistic anthropology certainly
does require you to know about words and languages, but it's more
focused on their classification, social use, role in identity-shaping,
and impact on culture; etymology is a very separate field. Cultural
anthropology is the one that tends to be less focused on the hard
sciences, though it certainly incorporates it.
