Two types of anthropology are cultural anthropology, which explores diverse cultural practices and beliefs of human societies, and physical (biological) anthropology, which studies human biology, evolution, and primates.

Anthropology is typically divided into four main subfields: cultural anthropology (the study of living cultures and societies), archaeology (the study of past human cultures through material remains), physical/biological anthropology (the study of human biology and evolution), and linguistic anthropology (the study of human languages).

American Journal of Physical Anthropology was created in 1918.

The three key elements of anthropology are cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, and archaeology. Cultural anthropology focuses on studying human cultures and societies. Physical anthropology explores human evolution and biological diversity. Archaeology examines past human societies through the analysis of material culture.
