Racism as science? Study of primitive cultures? Undeniably, anthropology was also a willing handmaiden in the justification of racism and colonialism. Fortunately, today it has a much more neutral objective: the subject of anthropology is human existence as an empirically describable fact. Individuals are different, people live in various cultures, and have lived at different times, etc. Thus, anthropology branches out into many different subfields: human evolution and biological variability; images of humanity, cults, and traditions, extending to more psychological and medical questions regarding the relationship between humans, environment, and society. This info comic provides a brief, concise overview of the historical development of the discipline, the specific interests of its various subfields, and the current state of research.
