- Anthropology and Culture – Anthropology is the study of human beings as a whole: our bodies, our past, our languages and our ways of life. Culture is the shared, learned way of life of a group: what people make, do, say and believe. Culture is learned, shared, symbolic, connected and always changing. Anthropologists study it by living with people (participant observation) and try to understand each culture on its own terms (cultural relativism) instead of judging it by their own (ethnocentrism).
