ANTHROPOLOGY
GEETA MOHAN
• The word anthropology itself tells the
basic story.
• From the Greek word
anthropos (“human”) and logia (“study”), it
is the study of human kind, from its
beginnings, millions of years ago to the
present day.
• Anthropology seeks to uncover principles
of behavior that apply to all human
communities. To an anthropologist,
diversity itself—seen in body shapes and
sizes, customs, clothing, speech, religion,
and world view—provides a frame of
reference for understanding any single
aspect of life in any given community.
• Anthropology is the study of humans,
including humans of the past, present,
and future. The biology and culture of
humans have changed to varying degrees
since the appearance of the first human
ancestors.
• Anthropologists seek to examine the
evolution of biology and culture through a
variety of methods and through the
analysis of various types of materials.

Branches of anthropology
• The field of anthropology is usually broken down
into four main branches:
Cultural anthropology

Archaeology.
Each separate branch of this discipline seeks to
study some aspect of humanity - whether it's
culture, language, or human biology and
evolution.
