Anthropology in the [[United States]] is divided into four separate disciplines, which overlap each other to varying degrees. Recently, anthropology was dominated by the leftists, as well as pushing Marxist agendas openly.

===[[Cultural anthropology]]===

===Cultural anthropology===

Anthropology is the study of humans through time and space.  Anthropological research is conducted with scientific methodology.  Anthropology is broken into four sub fields: Cultural Anthropology, Archaeology, Biological/Physical Anthropology and Linguistic Anthropology.  Even though anthropologists will specialize in one of the sub fields, because Anthropologists view all the components of humanity (biology/culture/language/history) as an inter-related whole, they generally have an understanding of the others.  All Anthropologists rely heavily on relevant literature to create a foundation for a specific project. After the foundation is created an Anthropologist will then conduct "field work."
