Anthropology is the systematic study of humanity, with the goal of understanding our evolutionary origins, our distinctiveness as a species, and the great diversity in our forms of social existence across the world and through time. Anthropology is divided into four subfields: sociocultural, biological, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology.

Sociocultural anthropologists interpret the content of particular cultures, explain variation among cultures, and study processes of cultural change and social transformation. Sociocultural anthropologists conduct research on most areas of the world, focusing on topics that include: human ecology; gender relations; culture and ideology; demography and family systems; race, class and gender inequality; resistance movements; colonialism, neo-colonialism, and development; and cultural politics in the West.

Biological anthropologists study a variety of aspects of human evolutionary biology. Some examine fossils and apply their observations to understanding human evolution; others compare morphological, biochemical and physiological adaptations of living humans to their environments; still others observe behaviour of nonhuman primates (monkeys and apes) to understand the roots of human behaviour.

Archaeologists study the material remains of present and past cultural systems to understand the technical, social and political organization of those systems and the larger culture evolutionary process that stand behind them. 

Linguistic anthropologists study the ways people communicate across the globe. They are interested in how language is linked to how we see the world and how we relate to each other. This can mean looking at how language works in all its different forms, and how it changes over time.
