Anthropology is a multidisciplinary field of study that explores the origins, development, and diversity of human beings and their societies.
It encompasses various subfields including cultural anthropology, which examines the beliefs, practices, and social structures of different cultures; archaeology, which investigates past human societies through material remains; and linguistic anthropology, which studies the role of language in human societies.
Anthropologists use diverse methods such as ethnography, excavation, and comparative analysis to understand the complexity of human culture and biology.
