SECTION A

Q1. Define anthropology? Briefly discuss the main branches of anthropology.

Anthropology is the scientific study of humanity, encompassing the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, their physical characteristics, cultural development, social structures, and linguistic diversity. Anthropologists seek to understand the complexity of human societies and cultures through systematic observation, comparison, and analysis.

The main branches of anthropology include:

Cultural Anthropology: Focuses on the study of contemporary human cultures, including their beliefs, customs, institutions, and social practices. Cultural anthropologists often conduct fieldwork to immerse themselves in the communities they study.

Physical or Biological Anthropology: Investigates the biological aspects of humanity, including human evolution, primatology, human variation, and forensic anthropology. Biological anthropologists study skeletal remains, genetics, and other biological markers to understand the evolution and adaptation of humans.

Linguistic Anthropology: Examines the role of language in human societies. Linguistic anthropologists explore how language shapes culture, communication, and social dynamics. They study language diversity, evolution, and the relationship between language and thought.

Archaeology: Involves the study of past human societies through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains. Archaeologists reconstruct past cultures and explore the development of human civilizations over time.

Applied Anthropology: Applies anthropological principles and methods to address contemporary issues and solve practical problems. Applied anthropologists work in diverse fields such as development, healthcare, education, and business to provide cultural insights and solutions.

These branches often overlap, and anthropologists may specialize in one or more areas to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of human existence. The field of anthropology aims to contribute to a holistic understanding of humanity, both past and present.
