Question

Which statement about anthropology and its comparison to other social sciences is correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Anthropology is the study of man in the broadest sense. A distinction is often made between anthropology, which studies culture, social structures, etc., as political anthropology, and biological anthropology / physical anthropology, which studies the biological evolution of mankind.

With the help of anthropological research, often obtained through fieldwork, one can make synchronous comparisons between different societies, or the work can result in diachronic representations of the development of specific societies over a period of time. The first field of research is particularly interested in structural commonalities of human societies. The latter, on the other hand, is a contemporary or historical research with an emphasis on "foreign" cultures.
