    Anthropology is the study of human culture, behavior, and beliefs. It encompasses five main fields: linguistic, physical, archaeology, cultural, and applied anthropology. Anthropologists conduct fieldwork through ethnography and research to holistically study and compare different cultures. Key figures in the early development of anthropology include Herodotus, Ibn Khaldun, and Marco Polo. Anthropological perspectives seek to understand cultures as holistic, culturally-bound systems that are learned, shared, symbolic, and dynamic.
