Anthropology is a scientific field that studies humans. It studies humans all over the world with respect to their behaviors and cultures in both past and present eras. Anthropology is divided into four major types: Cultural, Biological, Linguistic and archaeological.

1.) Because this research is towards the role of soybean and related products in Hing Kong, we can confidently say that it falls under the cultural aspect of anthropology which focuses on the study of differences in cultures among humans.

2.) Considering the fact that the research deals with a biological product (soybean) that has effects on humans, then biological anthropology is the most closely related field.

3.) The researchers intend to relate their findings from this research to global soybean and other related products consumption pattern. Therefore, this research could be used to compare quinoa consumption in other parts of the world.
