Anthropology

Anthropology

The multidisciplinary study of the nature of man, focusing on the comparison of cross-cultural differences and human behavior. Anthropologists place particular emphasis on participant observation and surveying, in order to collect and compare a wide range of research data. Cultural anthropology, which is one of the largest branches of anthropology, is the study of cultural variations and the impact of socioeconomic factors on cultures, comparing regional cultural practices with universal human nature.
