Anthropology is the study of mankind.
As a whole, it is broken down into four sub-fields, Cultural Anthropology, Physical Anthropology, Archaeology, and Linguistics. Anthropologists include the people who study ancient civilizations, and the people who study modern gang activities. They are the scientists who study how our bodies change with time, and the people who tell us about why we may do the things we do. In fact, there are very few places that anthropologists fear to tread. Basically, any thing that has to do with people, both past, present, and future, involves anthropology.
