As suggested by its Greek etymology, Anthropology is the
study of humans in the broadest sense possible. The anthropological
perspective, by definition interdisciplinary, extends from biological to
sociocultural approaches 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.
