Anthropology: from Gk anthropo, man; logy, study. Anthropology is the study of human beings in relation to origin, culture, and environmental and social relations. Anthropology is divided into three branches: physical anthropology, linguistics, and cultural anthropology.

Physical anthropology: it studies anatomy, biological evolution, primatology, genetic inheritance, and the fossil record of human evolution.

Linguistics: it is the scientific study of language and historic relationship among them. Linguistics concerns itself with describing and explaining the nature of human language.

Cultural anthropology: it studies human culture in a historic and comparative perspective. There is a subfield that concentrates on myth, music, and folklore to study human geography and human passage in time.
