Anthropology is usually
classified as a social science along with disciplines such as sociology,
economics, political science and psychology but it has much in common with
natural sciences like biology and geology as also with religion and art in the
field of humanities. The diverse field of anthropology has broader scope than
other social sciences. Anthropologists are interested in all human beings and
their different aspects such as skin color, kinship system, religious beliefs,
technologies and other aspects of life.
In physical anthropology,
investigation of the evolution of the human species, physical variations among
different human groups and anatomy of monkeys, apes and humans are studied.
Primatology is a line of specialization within anthropology and it specializes
in the evolution, anatomy, adaptation and social behavior of primates which
constitutes the taxonomic order including humans.Anthropogists studying the
variation in the human beings seek to measure and explain the similarities and
differences among the people of the world.
