A focused subfield examining how "the scientific method" itself varies across cultures, disciplines, and historical periods as a set of cultural practices. It asks not "what is the scientific method?" but "how do different groups of scientists perform what they call the scientific method?" The controlled experiment is a ritual in some fields, while in others, fieldwork is the sacred practice. The anthropology of the scientific method reveals that what counts as "doing good science" is learned through apprenticeship, enforced by community norms, and subject to the same cultural variation as any other human practice—even as scientists themselves believe they're following a universal, timeless procedure.
