| （Department of Physical Education，Hengyang Normal University，Hengyang 421008，China) Abstract: The process of cognition of the research object of sports anthropology is roughly bounded by the year 2000: it was “national sports” before that year, or “primitive ecological body movement” after that year. The re-search object of sports anthropology has 4 characteristics of changing: from whole to local, from deductive to em-pirical, from metaphorical to prominent, from theoretical to practical. The research object of sports anthropology should be “ghost-killing primitive ecological body movement”, differentiated from “god-communicating primitive ecological body movement”, “god-entertaining primitive ecological body movement” and “soul-capturing primitive ecological body movement” as the research objects of music anthropology, dance anthropology and acrobatic an-thropology. During specific research, the research object of sports anthropology should be independent in two as-pects: one is the mutual relation between ghost-killing primitive ecological body movement and other culture, the other one is the mutual relation between ghost-killing primitive ecological body movement and sports culture; the former has subjective humanistic nature, while the latter has objective scientific nature.
