History of anthropology

Anthropology is the study of people and how they live.

A long, long time ago, people started to wonder about other groups of people who lived in different parts of the world. They wondered why some people did things differently than they did, like the way they dressed, the food they ate, and the language they spoke.

In the 1800s, people started to study these different groups of people more seriously. They wanted to learn all they could about them and how they lived. They were called anthropologists.

Anthropologists began to travel all over the world to study different groups of people. They wrote down everything they saw and heard to try to understand why people did things the way they did.

As time went on, anthropologists began to compare different groups of people to each other. They realized that people all over the world had a lot in common, even if they looked different or spoke a different language.

Today, anthropology is still studied all over the world. Anthropologists study people in different cultures and try to understand how they live and why they do things the way they do. They help us understand and appreciate people from all over the world.
