Interesting question!

Please beg on me if i can't follow by answering in chronological order for i prefer to answer in a paragraph form.

Anthropology, by definition, is a discipline of infinite curiosity about human beings. The term  comes from the Greek anthropos for "man. human", and "logos" for study. Anthropologists seek answers to an enormous variety of questions about humans. They are interpreted in discovering when, where, and why humans appeared on the earth; how and why they have changed since then; how and why modern human populations vary in certain physical features. Anthropologists are also interested in how and why societies in the past and present have varied in their customary ideas and practices. There is a special side to anthropology, too. Appplied and practicing anthropologists put anthropological methos, information and results to use in efforts to solve practical problems.

But defining anthropology as the study of human beings is not complete, for such a definition would appear to incorporate a whole catalog of of disciplines: sociology, psychology,political science, economics, history, human biology, and perhaps even the humanistic disciplines of Philosophy and literature. Needless to say, practitioners of the many other disciplines concerned with humans would not be happy to be regarded as being in subbranches of  anthropology. After all, most of those disciplines have existed longer than anthropology, and each is somewhat distinctive. There must, then, be something unique about anthropology - a reason for its being developed as a separate discipline and for its having retained a separate identity over the last 100 years.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!
