# Bibliografia da antropologia

Esta bibliografia da antropologia lista algumas publicações notáveis no campo da antropologia, incluindo suas várias subáreas. Não é abrangente e continua a ser desenvolvido. Também inclui uma série de trabalhos que não são de autoria de antropólogos, mas são relevantes para o campo, como teoria literária, sociologia, psicologia e antropologia filosófica.
Antropologia é o estudo da humanidade. Descrita como "a mais humanística das ciências e a mais científica das humanidades", é considerada uma ponte entre as ciências naturais, as ciências sociais e as humanidades, e baseia-se em uma ampla gama de campos relacionados. Na América do Norte, a antropologia é tradicionalmente dividida em quatro grandes subdisciplinas: antropologia biológica, antropologia sociocultural, antropologia linguística e arqueologia. Outras tradições acadêmicas usam definições menos amplas, onde um ou mais desses campos são considerados disciplinas separadas, mas relacionadas.

## Antropologia biológica

A antropologia biológica é tradicionalmente concebida como parte da abordagem norte-americana de quatro campos. Em algumas universidades, porém, a disciplina se reposicionou como biologia evolutiva humana. Na Europa, às vezes é ensinado como disciplina individual em nível universitário ou como parte da disciplina de biologia. Seus métodos são informados pela biologia evolutiva, daí o biológico adjunto. Desde 1993, a Seção de Antropologia Biológica da Associação Antropológica Americana concedeu o W.W. Howells Book Award em Antropologia Biológica.

## Arqueologia

A antropologia arqueológica é tradicionalmente concebida como parte da abordagem norte-americana de quatro campos. Com a abordagem de quatro campos sendo questionada por sua ortodoxia, o assunto ganhou considerável independência nos últimos anos e alguns arqueólogos rejeitaram o rótulo de antropologia. Na Europa, o assunto mantém conexões mais próximas com a história e é simplesmente concebido como arqueologia com foco e metodologia de pesquisa distintos.
