What are the five fields of anthropology?

Answer 1

Hi there!

The subfields of anthropology are typically divided into four, not five specializations:

1) Cultural

2) Archaeological

3) Biological

4) Linguistic

Sometimes forensics are listed separately, but technically this falls within biological anthropology and the majority of academic institutions today follow a "four field approach." Each subfield of anthropology has many more specializations within it (i.e. visual, economic, and environmental within cultural anthropology, zooarchaeology, paleobotany, etc. in archaeology, evolutionary history, primatology, genetics, etc. in biological anthropology, and many more)
