Anthropology is the study of humanity.
It has origins in the natural sciences, the
humanities, and the social sciences.
[1]
The term "anthropology", pronounced /ænθrɵ
ˈpɒlədʒi/, is from the Greek anthrōpos (ἄνθρωπος), "man", and -logia (-λογία),
"discourse" or "study", and was first used in 1501 by German philosopher Magnus Hundt.
[2]
Anthropology s basic concerns are "What defines Homo sapiens?", "Who are the
ancestors of modern Homo sapiens?", "What are humans physical traits?", "How do
humans behave?", "Why are there variations and differences among different groups of
humans?", "How has the evolutionary past of Homo sapiens influenced its social
organization and culture?" and so forth.
