Anthropology is the study of humanity, a widely diverse combination of natural science, social science, and the humanities.

The four basic fields within anthropology are :

  • Archaeology (past human forms, environments, and cultures)
  • linguistic anthropology (language)
  • biological or physical anthropology (human structure and anatomy)
