Define

“the science of humanity,” which studies human beings in aspects ranging from the biology and evolutionary history of Homo sapiens to the features of society and culture that decisively distinguish humans from other animal species. Because of the diverse subject matter it encompasses, anthropology has become, especially since the middle of the 20th century, a collection of more specialized fields such as:

* Physical anthropology is the branch that concentrates on the biology and evolution of humanity.

* cultural anthropology (or ethnology),

* social anthropology,

* linguistic anthropology,

* psychological anthropology,

* Archaeology as the method of investigation of prehistoric cultures, has been an integral part of anthropology since it became a self-conscious discipline in the latter half of the 19th century. Anthropology.

    A museum of native American, Southern Black and White culture, history and views of many world cultures.
  • International Islamic Museum of Atlanta  
    Rating  
    The International Islamic Museum of America (IIMA) is dedicated to educating the public about Islam, as we believe it is simpler to embrace differences when you better understand them. By making interreligious and intercultural dialogue front and center, we are hopeful that IIMA will generate an atmosphere conducive to learning and a greater appreciation of the world’s diverse cultural.
