Anthropology is perhaps the only specialization in the galaxy of academic disciplines that studies human beings in association with other organisms, from biological as well as socio-cultural perspective, providing a viable and appropriate intellectual forum to understand the phenomenon such as an ailment, a custom, or a slice of behaviour – from a bio-cultural (or bio-behavioural) approach. It is the comprehensive way of analysing reality that anthropological writings have palpably influenced the nature of research and reasoning in other subjects.
