Explanation / Answer

Conventional dictionaries define Anthropology as the science that deals with the origins, physical and cultural development, biological characteristics, and social customs and beliefs of humankind. In this context, a systematic cross-cultural study of Human behaviour is an intricate subject of Anthropology. Naturally, Human beings are considered as its subject matter. The organization of language, values and art in culture and its studies is important to study human behaviour and hence forms a part of Anthropology. Finally the Anthropologist has to involve himself/herself to gather experimental findings in the field.
