    Anthropology is the study of human groupings and interactions between different human beings. Anthropologists study subsistence like how people obtain food through hunting and gathering or agriculture. They also study social organization including leadership structures from small societies without permanent leaders to larger societies with authority concentrated in one person. Additionally, anthropologists examine religion and mythology to understand how groups explain the world and provide moral guidance.

    Anthropology

    What is Anthropology?
    Anthropology is the study
    of human groupings and
    the interactions that occur
    and have occurred in the
    past between different
    human beings.

    For Example:
    How people act, how they structure
    their lives, how they deal with other
    people, and how they interact with
    the world around them.

    What Do
    Anthropologists
    Study?

    Subsistence
    Subsistence: A technical
    term to describe the diet of
    people and how they
    obtain food.

    Hunting and Gathering


    Hunting and Gathering: All humans
    were hunter gatherers before the
    development of agriculture. They
    gathered plants, berries, and small
    animals.
    Some hunter-gatherer societies still
    exist today (In some places in the
    Arctic, South America, Africa, Asia, and
    Australia)

    Agriculture:
    Agriculture: Agriculture began to develop
    among humans around 12,000 years ago. It
    gave people the ability to plant and harvest
    foods rather than just gather it.
    As humans developed plants and animals
    became domesticated and were controlled to
    provide resources, such as food or clothing.

    Social Organization:
    Human beings have always lived
    in groups
    We call these groups societies.
    Within these groups different
    rules are created in order to
    ensure that activities go smoothly

    Leadership and
    Government
    Small Societies: Have no permanent
    leaders and rely on the most skilled
    and experienced person for certain
    tasks, such as fishing or hunting.
    Larger Societies: Always have some
    form of permanent leadership.
    Authority is generally in the hands of
    one person who directs the activities of
    the group.

    Religion
    To be able to explain how things have
    happened and why certain events occur
    people developed religious beliefs.
    Religion explains the nature of the world and
    can help provide a moral structure so people
    can live among each other.
    Mythology is a form of ancient religion.

    Kinship
    Kinship describes how a person
    identifies his or her blood
    relatives.
    Usually through the terms:
    Matrilocal, Patrilocal, Patriarchal,
    Matriarchal, Patrilineal,
    Matrilineal, or Bilateral.
