As suggested by its Greek etymology, Anthropology is the study of humans in the broadest sense possible. The anthropological perspective extends from biological to sociocultural aspects in accounting for human diversity as observed in different societies, past and present. The unique anthropological research method of ethnography is used as a valuable tool of critical analysis in a great variety of topics ranging from kinship, economic and political systems to religious practices, from material culture and everyday practices to identity issues.
