The word anthropology is derived from two Greek words, anthropos (man) and logos (study).
Anthropologists study the similarities and differences in how people looks, how they talk, and how they talk, and how they behave, both in the past and in the present.
They are interested in all aspects of the human species and human behavior, in all places and at all times, from the origin and evolution of the species to the way people live today.
Only in the last hundred years has the anthropology been recognized as a separated area of formal study.
The first academic position in anthropology was held by Edward Taylor in Oxford, England.
Four years later Franz Boaz become the first professor of anthropology in the United Sates at Clark university in Massachusetts.
