Anthropology: Understanding Societies and Human Behavior (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781632408303)

The field of anthropology delves into the study of human behavior and society. It draws from various natural science and social science disciplines to develop an understanding of the origin and evolution of humans, their behavior, traits and variations as well as their societal organizations, culture and conflicts. Depending on the dimensions of human life explored, anthropology may be divided into the principal areas of sociocultural, linguistic, biological and archaeological anthropology. Art, dance, music, etc. are explored in sociocultural anthropology, and the scientific investigations of evolution, human-animal interactions, etc. are crucial to biological and archaeological anthropology. The understanding of the processes of human communication, use of language, its variation and cultural influences is explored in linguistic anthropology. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of anthropology and the recent researches in this field. Some of the diverse topics covered here address the varied branches that fall under this category. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
