Anthropology is the study of humans throughout time. It seeks to answer who we are, where
we came from, and why we are similar and different. This also includes the culture of different
people, their traditions, and customs that guide their beliefs and behaviors. There are 5 fields of
study in anthropology: Biological, Linguistic, Archaeology, Cultural, and Applied. Biological
anthropology studies the physical human and evolution. Linguistics looks at the evolution of
language. Archeology is the study of cultures through material remains. Cultural studies living
cultures and everyday lives of people. Applied anthropology helps solve societal problems today
in the other four fields.
