Bibliography of anthropology Last updated September 29, 2025
This bibliography of anthropology lists some notable publications in the field of anthropology , including its various subfields. It is not comprehensive and continues to be developed. It also includes a number of works that are not by anthropologists but are relevant to the field, such as literary theory, sociology, psychology, and philosophical anthropology.
Anthropology is the study of humanity . [ 1] [ 2] [ 3] Described as "the most humanistic of sciences and the most scientific of the humanities", [ 4] it is considered to bridge the natural sciences , social sciences and humanities , [ 5] and draws upon a wide range of related fields. 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. [ 8] [ 9]

In some universities, however, the subject has repositioned itself as human evolutionary biology . In Europe, it is sometimes taught as an individual subject at college level or as part of the discipline of biology. Its methods are informed by evolutionary biology, hence the adjunct biological . Since 1993, the Biological Anthropology Section of the American Anthropological Association has awarded the W.W. Howells Book Award in Biological Anthropology. [ 20]

With the four-field approach being questioned for its orthodoxy, the subject has gained considerable independence in recent years and some archaeologists have rejected the label anthropology . In Europe, the subject maintains closer connections to history and is simply conceived of as archaeology with a distinct research focus and methodology.

Conversely, contemporary anthropological discourse has become receptive to a wide variety of theoretical currents which in turn help to shape the cognitive identity of the subjects. Among the key publications from related disciplines that have advanced anthropological scholarship are:
