What is anthropology?

Anthropology is the study of humans, their behavior, beliefs, cultures, and social organization. It is a holistic science, meaning that it takes into account all aspects of human life to understand societies and their development over time. Anthropologists use a variety of methods including participant observation, surveys, interviews, and archival research to gain a comprehensive understanding of human societies. Some of the subfields of anthropology include cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, archeology, and linguistic anthropology. The ultimate goal of anthropology is to build a better understanding of human diversity, past and present, and to promote cultural sensitivity and respect for different ways of life.
