The Anthropological Perspective." Anthropology is a very broad discipline and there are many different types of anthropologists, including: Cultural, Linguistic, Archaeology, and Physical anthropology. The latter is the topic of this course. Physical anthropology itself has different areas: Paleoanthropology, Human Variation, Genetics, Primatology, Osteology, and Forensics.
