Anthropology is the study of humankind. It is a discipline integrating four sub-fields: archaeology, linguistics, biological anthropology and sociocultural anthropology. Archaeologists recover material remains in order to interpret past cultures. Linguists study languages worldwide and in relation to society and culture. Biological anthropologists investigate human origins, growth and development in relation to environmental, genetic and sociocultural factors. Sociocultural anthropologists work with living groups world-wide, recording their ways of life and beliefs and interpreting their findings to better understand and explain the similarities and differences among people. Anthropologists investigate economic and social inequality; identity, ethnicity and nationalism; ethnocentrism and racism; gender and society; the individual and society; the role of technology and material culture; and tensions between global and local perspectives. A constant and distinctive feature of anthropology is its insistence upon the study of lived experience, the anthropology of everyday life.
