- 1. Anthropology is the study of human beings, their culture, and society. It encompasses various subfields such as archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Anthropologists seek to understand the diversity of human experiences throughout history and across different societies. They explore topics such as rituals, social structures, beliefs, language, and the impact of globalization on communities.
