Anthropology

Theorists whose primary discipline is anthropology, the comparative study of human societies and cultures through ethnographic fieldwork and cross-cultural analysis, from the founding figures of American cultural anthropology such as Franz Boas and British social anthropology such as Bronislaw Malinowski, through structuralist, interpretive and materialist traditions to contemporary anthropological theorists. Belongs here: a theorist whose primary scholarly identity and institutional home is anthropology. Does not belong here: a theorist trained or working primarily in sociology, grouped under this category's own Sociology subcategory, and does not duplicate Science atlas's own standalone anthropology discipline entity, which this atlas DataBrief explicitly instructs against duplicating; that entity anchors the discipline as a field of study, this subcategory groups the atlas's own theorist entities within Society.
