Anthropology

Hello, today I am going to talk about anthropology. What does anthropology study? Anthropology is the science that studies people in their cultural and biological dimension. What areas of specialization are there? There are 4 specialties: social, biological, archaeological and forensic. How was this science born? It was born after the discovery of America due to the need to understand the other (native American culture). How does anthropology differ from sociology? Although there are differences since the birth of each, today the main difference is in the way of working, where anthropology uses fieldwork and sociology uses surveys. What is fieldwork? Fieldwork is a set of actions aimed at obtaining data directly. Did it really help anthropology to understand the other? I personally believe that it did, but Eurocentrism oriented that knowledge in the wrong way and that is why what we all know about the native peoples happened.
