Discussion
Who among the following advocated a 'four-fold approach' that divided anthropology into cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, archaeology and linguistics ?
Answer: B
Franz Boas advocated the 'four-field approach' that divides anthropology into cultural anthropology, physical (biological) anthropology, archaeology and linguistics. It became the standard structure of American anthropology.
Malinowski is linked with functionalism and Trobriand fieldwork, Radcliffe-Brown with structural-functionalism, and Marcel Mauss with the study of gift exchange and the French sociological tradition. None of them is credited with the four-field scheme.
