'''Anthropology''' (from Greek: ἀνθρωπος, ''anthropos'', "human being"; and λόγος, ''logos'', "knowledge") is the study of [[Homo (genus)|humanity]].  Anthropology has origins in the [[natural sciences]], the [[humanities]], and the [[social science]]s. (Wolf, Eric (1994) ''Perilous Ideas: Race, Culture, People.'' ''[[Current Anthropology]]'' 35: 1-7. p.227)[[Ethnography]] is both one of its primary methods, and the text that is written as a result of the practice of anthropology and its elements.

Canadian anthropology began, as in other parts of the Colonial world, as ethnological data in the records of travellers and missionaries. In Canada, [[Jesuit]] [[Missionary|missionaries]] such as Fathers LeClercq, Le Jeune and Sagard, in the 1600s, provide the oldest ethnographic records of native tribes in what was then the Domain of Canada.

===The focus on the "Other"===

It is often argued that Anthropology originated and developed as the study of the "Other", both in terms of time (past societies) and space (non-European/non-[[Western world|Western]] societies). However there exist many works focusing on peoples and topics very close to the author's "home".<ref name="Lewis" /> It is also argued that other fields of study, like [[History]] and [[Sociology]], on the contrary focus disproportionately on the West.<ref>[[Jack Goody]] (2007) ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=jo1UVi48KywC The Theft of History]'' Cambridge University Press ISBN 0521870690</ref>
