It includes physical anthropology (biological and behavioral aspects), cultural anthropology (living cultures and their variations), social anthropology (human relations in cultures), and archaeology (ancient and recent past through material remains). Linguistics examines relations between culture and language. Applied anthropology uses anthropological research to solve practical problems.
