Anthropology is the study of humans, their cultures, societies, and physical development throughout history. It examines various aspects of humanity, including social structures, languages, rituals, customs, and biological aspects of humans. The field diverges into several sub-disciplines such as cultural anthropology, archaeological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropology. By utilizing both qualitative and quantitative research methods, anthropologists aim to understand the complexities of human behavior and evolution, contributing to our knowledge of cultural diversity and social change.
