    Anthropology is a discipline that studies human beings with infinite curiosity. It takes a holistic approach to understand all aspects of human life and culture. Anthropology has two major fields - physical anthropology which studies human evolution, variation and genetics, and cultural anthropology which includes the subfields of archaeology, linguistics and ethnology to analyze the development of human societies and cultures. Anthropologists employ various research methods like cross-cultural comparisons and historical analysis to broadly examine what it means to be human.
