Anthropology is the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities.
Archaeology is the anthropology of the past, and science fiction is the anthropology of the future.
Though a good cop, Luc Claudel has the patience of a firecracker, the sensitivity of Vlad the Impaler, and a persistent skepticism as to the value of forensic anthropology. Snappy dresser, though.
Every historian has informally an anthropology, without ever using the word.
I chose cultural anthropology, since it offered the greatest opportunity to write high-minded balderdash.
I hope I may have succeeded in presenting to you, however imperfectly, the currents of thought due to the work of the immortal Darwin which have helped to make anthropology what it is at the present time
The point of literary criticism in anthropology is not to replace research, but to find out how it is that we are persuasive.
I've got a solid grounding in history, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, etc etc. That means I actually have a good idea about how societies change and evolve.

The object is evident in the name of the discipline. Similarly, theology (theologia) is the study of God. The object of theology is not the church's teaching or the experience of pious souls.

I think feminism has had a major impact on anthropology
I've often been accused of making anthropology into literature, but anthropology is also field research. Writing is central to it.
I wasn't a big fan of social anthropology. And, luckily, that created room for me to work in visual arts because I sort of ignored my requirements. I think I was attracted to social anthropology because I liked to travel and was always interested in far-off places.
I am perhaps more proud of having helped to redeem the character of the cave-man than of any other single achievement of mine in the field of anthropology.
My degrees are in anthropology, and I have friends who have worked with apes.
Theological anthropology is a lot simpler when humans are the only ones with souls.
Theology is Anthropology. . . [T]he distinction which is made, or rather supposed to be made, between the theological and anthropological predicates resolves itself into an absurdity.
In my introductory course, Anthropology 160, the Forms of Folklore, I try to show the students what the major and minor genres of folklore are, and how they can be analyzed.
