[Verginius Rufus]

"The proper study of mankind is man."

I think physical anthropology is scientific. Cultural anthropology may fade into sociology.

Just my opinion based on one course on anthropology in college and occasional reading.

When I was in college we had a sociology prof who was widely mocked, mimicked and caricatured as saying. "Sociology is a science. Of course sociology is a science. Please say, 'Sociology is a science.' If you don't say 'Sociology is a science,' I'll cry!"

Speaking as one who has a degree in Anthropology (archaeology), I must say I agree.
