Origins of anthropology

by Justina86 @ 2007-12-27 - 16:47:13

I did a bit of research on origins of anthropology. I've found out that the term itself was first used by François Péron (French naturalist and explorer). He did some work on the Aborigines and that's when he came up with the term. Anthropology is a study of humans, I think it covers everything that is to do with people. Currently, anthropology is divided into four main fields: biological anthropology, social/cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology and archeology. At my university there is also available medical anthropology.

Anthropology in general is an extremely interesting field and I am very passionate about it!
