Archaeology: Examines people and cultures of the past.

Biological Anthropology: Specializes in evolution, genetics, and health.

Cultural Anthropology: Studies human societies and elements of cultural life.

Linguistic Anthropology: Concentration of cultural anthropology that focuses on language in society.
