What is anthropology

Anthropology is....Anthropology is the study of humanity. Anthropology has origins in the natural sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. The term was first used by François Péron when discussing his encounters with Tasmanian Aborigines. The term "anthropology", pronounced, is from the Greek "human", "discourse" or "study".

Its basic questions concern: "What defines Homo sapiens?" "Who are the ancestors of modern Homo sapiens?" "What are humans' physical traits?" "How do humans behave?" "Why are there variations and differences among different groups of humans?" "How has the evolutionary past of Homo sapiens influenced its social organization and culture?" and so forth.

To define anthropology in laymen's terms: anthropology is the study of anything and everything 'human', from the way we procured food 10,000 years ago to the way we drive our cars today, and everything in between. Basically, if it has to do with humans, it is anthropological in nature.

The study of humans (and what it is to be human). Divided into 4 subfields: Sociocultural, Biological, Archaeological, and Linguistic.
