Anthropology – Definition and fields of anthropology.
Anthropology is
the study of all the aspects of human life and way of life.
Anthropology deals with topics like how people live, how they think and how
they interact with their environment. Anthropologists try to understand the
full range of human diversity as well as what all people share in common.
Anthropologists ask basic questions
as: When, where, and how did humans evolve? How do people adapt to different
environments? How have societies developed and changed from the ancient past to
the present? Answers to these questions can help us understand what it means to
be human. They can also help us to learn ways to meet the present-day needs of
people all over the world and to plan how we might live in the future.
