    Read each scenario, then answer the following questions.

    Scenario A: Anthropologists have been studying the role of soybean curd and related products

    in the culture of Hong Kong. The researchers interview people about how frequently they eat

    soybean products, where they eat them, and at what time of day they eat them. The

    researchers also ask people about how they prepare soybean products, where they obtain

    soybean products, and any beliefs they have about soybean products.

    1. What is the primary field of anthropology addressed in this research?

    Cultural Anthropology

    2. Are there any other fields of anthropology addressed in this research?

    None

    3. How might this research contribute to a comparative approach?

    Different cultures may have different opinions on soybeans, based on whether or not

    they grow in the area.

    Scenario B: An anthropologist has been researching how Native Americans in California were

    impacted by Spanish missionization from 1776 to 1830. The researcher is particularly interested

    in how Native Californians may have negotiated their identity and balanced traditional practices

    with colonial influences. The anthropologist excavates material remains from areas where the

    Native Californian may have gone when they fled the Spanish missions. The materials include

    things such as stone tools, shell beads, and historic bottle glass.

    Archeological Anthropology

    2. Are there any other fields of anthropology addressed in this research?

    Cultural Anthropology

    3. How might this research contribute to a comparative approach?

    The scenario isn’t comparing.

    Scenario C: Building on previous research showing that people of different genders often

    communicate differently, and anthropologist has been studying how gendered communication

    affects family interactions. The anthropologist uses recorded conversation and documentary

    footage of family interactions from participants’ homes.

    1. What is the primary field of anthropology addressed in this research?

    Linguistic anthropology

    2. Are there any other fields of anthropology addressed in this research?

    Biological anthropology

    3. How might this research contribute to a comparative approach?

    It compares how the two different genders communicate.

    Scenario D: Anthropologists have been studying Y-chromosomal DNA to understand where and

    when humans first appeared and when they moved into various areas of the world.

    Researchers collect Y-chromosomal DNA from living men and measure the amount of genetic

    difference among populations. Greater amounts of genetic difference indicate longer periods of

    separation between different groups.
