Anthropology is a broad topic and there are many types. These types include social, linguistic, biological, medical, and archaeological, though there are many more. Each type will have its own separate post. In this post, I will be talking about a very interesting and universal branch - social anthropology!

Founded by Franz Boas, who is often called the Father of Modern/American Anthropology, it is the study of human culture, beliefs, behavior, and society. There are many types of anthropology, including social, linguistic, biological, medical, and archaeological.
