Abstract

Anthropology is the science of man and it is a study not only of what man looks like but how he behaves. It is customary to divide the subject into physical anthropology, which makes a comparative examination of the physical characteristics of human beings, such as their size, shape and colouring, and social and cultural anthropology, which looks at man's beliefs and behaviour and his relationship with his fellows.
