Abstract
However we might define Anthropology, and whatever methodology we might use in that field, there is no doubt that the study object is the human being, human society, and everything that comes along with it in terms of communication, ethics, morality, politics, emotions, ideals, values, transgressions, fears, desires, etc. In short, there is much overlapping with other disciplines, whether Literary Studies, History, Art History, Psychology, and so forth. Online we can read, for instance (Boston University), the purpose of anthropology is “to advance knowledge of who we are, how we came to be that way—and where we may go in the future” (https://www.bu.edu/anthrop/about/what-is-anthropology/). Or (UC Davis): “The focus of Anthropology is on understanding both our shared humanity and diversity, and engaging with diverse ways of being in the world” (https://anthropology.ucdavis.edu/undergraduate/what-is-anthropology).
