In North America, anthropology is traditionally divided into four major subdisciplines: biological anthropology, sociocultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology and archaeology. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Other academic traditions use less broad definitions, where one or more of these fields are considered separate, but related, disciplines.

[7] Other anthropologists made contributions to early modern anthropology, like Bronislaw Malinowski, Margaret Mead, and Ruth Benedict.
