ANTHROPOLOGYDifferent branches
of anthropology focus on different aspects of the human experience.Some
focus on how our species evolved from earlier species (human evolution
or physical anthropology).
Others focus on how
ancient cultures evolved and diversified (archaeology).Still
others focus on language and culture, and how human similarities and differences
are expressed among the world's peoples today (cultural anthropology).In
sum, anthropology aims to describe, in the broadest possible sense, what
it means to be human.
As
the world becomes smaller people from different continents, who speak different
languages and who possess different values and religions, find themselves
living together in the same "global village."To
all the members of this new human community, anthropology extends a unique
invitation to explore the roots of our common humanity as well as the sources
of our distinct ways of living.
