Definition

  • Anthropology, a discipline that encompasses five areas or subdisciplines, provides a comprehensive view of our species' origin, present state, and future. As a science, anthropology can be considered as a recent academic discipline; however, the fundamental inquiry into human origin, social structure, and human interaction has its roots in the tradition of philosophy.
