Foundation
MAN, THE MAIN CONCERN OF
ANTHROPOLOGY

9. Anthropology
Anthropology
is traditionally
defined as the
study of man.

10. Theoretically, at least, no aspect of
human behaviour or of the
environment conditions which have
constituted to the physical or
cultural development of man is
denied consideration.

11. Central concern has been with man’s
exploitation of his environment
through technology, his adjustments
to other men through social
groupings, and his relationship to
the supernatural.

12. Anthropologists learn the culture
of people from the study of man’s
technical equipment, customs,
activities, institutions, values, and
symbols.

MAIN
CONCERN OF
ANTHROPOL

animals biologically
and behaviourally.

15. Biologically
Man walks erect on two
feet. Other animals
walk on four feet and
their bodies are
horizontal to the
ground.

16. Biologically
Man has two free
hands used for
handling things.
Animals except the
ape have no free
hands.

17. Biologically
Man has a more
complex brain
than animals.

18. Behaviourally
Man is rational. He has
the power of reasoning.
Using this, he knows
what is right and what is
wrong. Animals are not
rational.

19. Behaviourally
Man has complex technique of
producing, procuring, and preparing
and cooking food. Animal just roam
around and procure their food with
their mouths or claws and eat their
food raw.

20. Behaviourally
Man has social,
educational,
economic, and
governmental
organization.
Animals do not have
these.

21. Behaviourally
Man has a system of religious
beliefs and practices. Animals do
not have these.

22. Behaviourally
Man communicates by means of
complex language, oral and/or
written. Animals communicate by
means of simple sounds and gestures.
They have no writing.

23. Behaviourally
Man makes tools, weapons, and other
gadgets and artefacts, constructs
shelters, and has fast means of land,
sea, air transportation and
communication. Animals do not have
all of these.
