A theory of the intrinsic anomalous Hall effect, based on the space distribution of the current densities, is presented. Spin-orbit coupling gives rise to a spatial separation of the mass centers, and of the current densities, of the quasiparticle states having opposite group velocities. It is shown that this microscopic property is essential for the existence of the anomalous Hall effect.
