Social anthropology is a branch of anthropology that focuses on understanding human societies and cultures. It examines social structures, relationships, and practices within different communities. Social anthropologists study various aspects of life, including family dynamics, rituals, and economic systems, to gain insights into how people interact and organize themselves. This field often involves fieldwork, where researchers immerse themselves in the communities they study. By observing and participating in daily life, social anthropologists gather qualitative data that helps them analyze cultural norms and values. Their findings contribute to a broader understanding of human behavior and the diversity of human cultures.
