 Anthropology
is the study of various aspects of humans within
societies of the past and present. Social anthropology
and cultural anthropology study the norms and values of
societies. Linguistic anthropology studies how language
affects social life. Biological or physical anthropology
studies the biological development of humans.
Archaeology, which studies past human cultures
through investigation of physical evidence, is thought
of as a branch of anthropology in the United States,
while in Europe, it is viewed as a discipline in its own
right, or grouped under other related disciplines such
as history. [Adapted from Wikipedia]
 One
of the truly liberating features of being a radical
lifelong learner is that you don't have to
spend time, energy, and other vital resources
splitting hairs between arbitrary names of things.
Are you fascinated with anthropology? Are you drawn
to archaeology? When necessary, put yourself
into either category. Otherwise, you are just a
person interested in the way people were ... 10,000
years ago and 10 years ago.
