Quantum anthropology is the theoretical approach that studies culture and humanity from an quantum perspective. Rather then recognized subdiscipline of anthropology quantum anthropology could be described as an emerging field that represents an effort for finding a link between cultural anthropology, social anthropology and quantum mechanics.

Overview
The term quantum anthropology was coined by Shawn Pownell in 1996 in his article Quantum anthropology in Anthropology news. From this time several authors used this term in their works. In his Quantum Anthropologies, the renowned feminist theorist Vicki Kirby contends that some of the most provocative aspects of deconstruction have yet to be explored. Deconstruction’s implications have been curtailed by the assumption that issues of textuality and representation are specific to the domain of culture. Nigel Julian Rapport use the term in his article A quantum anthropology of contemporary moments of being: Seven observations, in which two central questions are addressed: What is anthropology toady? and What is an anthropology of today? The basic principles of quantum anthropology as an new theoretical approach were formulated by Heidi Ann Russell from the Loyola University Chicago and developed later by Radek Trnka from the Charles University in Prague.

From a review of literature some fundamentals of quantum anthropology could be defined as a wave-particle duality and wave function collapse. Quantum anthropology understands humans and cultures as actualizations of potentiality in time and space. Matter is both particle/wave, energy is a field, and everything simultaneously has the characteristics of a particle as well as a wave. Every person is an embodiment of a part of the energy-information field  and is determined by their anatomy, physiology, and psyche, that can change to a certain extent in time. Humans and cultures are all a part of interconnected interpersonal relationships, others' interests, and public interests. Every human action has the potential to develop, to qualitatively change, or to limit the potential choices of someone else or of an entire group of people. The free will is never absolute and always limited. The mutual interconnectedness of individual, group and public interests is analogical to the phenomenon known as quantum entanglement. Cultural systems, social systems and humans exist in time and space - they arise, evolve, and collapse. The crises are indicators of destabilization and the frequency of individual crises increases as the final Societal collapse is approaching. The trajectory of crises in the period before a collapse has the shape of a conical helix similar to a vortex. The heretofore embodied part of the energy-information field returns back into to the global, wave-particle energy-information potential after the final collapse of the system.
