Anthropology can be defined as the holistic study of the human species. Its central focus is the feature that is unique to humans—our cultural behavior. Culture is the way we as a species deal with our world and with one another. Understanding a species' behavior—even when that behavior is largely cultural—necessarily requires an understanding of all aspects of that species' identity, from its biology to its environment to its evolutionary past to the cultural behaviors that come in many different forms. |
