Anthropology

Research Tips and Information

Biological Anthropology is also known as Physical Anthropology and as such when researching for books or articles about biological anthropology it is also a good idea to keep in mind that the title and/or the description of the item might contain the physical anthropology term instead. Biocultural Anthropology is another term that can be used interchangeably with physical anthropology as well. For example when using UIUC Library’s website and searching by “subject” it is listed as Physical Anthropology as that is what the Library of Congress Classification system uses.
