In the same way that none of the broad concepts or the other entire science, as you've described them, are wholly subsumed under anthropology, neither is linguistics. I'd also note, the AAA article used for sourcing the sentence in question specifically states: " 280:. They are put off by 2000 years by doing this. The citations used to establish the dates are also then misused. The dates for early humans in Ethiopia/Omo are around 200,000-265,000BP. NOT BC. It's the rare anthropologist who uses AD/BC and this is an article about anthropology. Please do not edit the dates; do keep them consistent.-- 775: 726: 848:
Gotcha. I guess my question is, why do we list the intersections as: human behavior (a broad concept), human biology (an entire science of its own), cultures (a broad concept), societies (a broad concept), and linguistics (an entire science of its own)? This just seems semantically (maybe

In the community of anthropologists in the United States, these four fields—human biology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, and linguistics—are understood to be the pillars on which the whole discipline

To change these dates to B.C. is to be 967: 580: 422: 814:? Does this mean that linguistics falls under the umbrella of anthropology? And, if so, is this actually the case? (Linguistics of course is not equivalent to linguistic anthropology.) 886:
Thanks for your prompt responses. I do feel like the science of "culture" and "societies" is, in fact, wholly subsumed under anthropology. Would love to hear others' responses too.
932: 900:
To preface, yes, I would really like others to chime in as well. I will say, sociologists would probably have something to say about "societies", and possibly "culture" too. --
