“History is, strictly speaking, the study of questions; the study of answers belongs to anthropology and sociology.” ~W. H. Aude Anthropology is the study of people throughout the world, their evolutionary history, how they behave, adapt to different environments, communicate and socialize with one another. The study of anthropology is concerned both with the biological features that make us human (such as physiology, genetic makeup, nutritional history and evolution) and with social aspects (such as language, culture, polituics, family and religion).
