Anthropology as the Study of Culture

Fei Li

Abstract


Since the birth of the discipline of anthropology, all interest has been centered in the diverse cultures of human societies. Moreover,
anthropologists have always assumed that the real face of the culture that is the subject of their study is as they see it. However, we may not be
able to discover the real meaning behind how any culture should really look like. The purpose of this paper is to present the evolution of the
discipline of anthropology, as well as to reflect on the characteristics of this discipline.

Keywords


Culture; Commonality; Difference; Disciplinary history
