Famous quotes containing the word anthropology:

    I am not a literary man.... I am a man of science, and I am interested in that branch of Anthropology which deals with the history of human speech.
    —J.A.H. (James Augustus Henry)

    History is, strictly speaking, the study of questions; the study of answers belongs to anthropology and sociology.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
