Anthropology is the study of humans, their societies, cultures, and development throughout history. It encompasses various aspects of human life, including social structures, languages, and belief systems, aiming to understand the diversity of human experiences across different cultures and time periods.
Anthropologists often conduct fieldwork, immersing themselves in communities to gather qualitative data. This discipline is divided into several subfields, such as Cultural Anthropology, Archaeology, and Biological Anthropology, each focusing on different dimensions of human existence and evolution.
