Question

What's the greatest contribution of anthropology to the world?

Answer 1

The recognition that not all people think, behave and feel the way we do. It opened up our eyes to our differences. It also framed these differences in a way that attempts to avoid judgment.

Answer 2

Respect and equality. It made us learn that we are all equal, whether white or black or asian. We all came from monkeys/hobbits/adam&eve. It made us respect others and earn their respect as well for no one is above the other when we are talking about origins

Answer 3

The IDENITY CRISIS!  Mankind is undecided as to what or Who it's ancesters are-where we originated and if we are indeed an evolutionary process--So we find ourselves not only arguing origion of man with religion but where and how among the scientific community.....Messy--is it not?

I think the monkeys are laughing and God has thrown up His hands in amazement...
