Anthropology questions

About Anthropology

Anthropology studies human beings across cultures and through time: kinship and social organisation, belief and ritual, language, and human evolution. Its questions ask you to compare societies without judging them by your own.

Popular topics in Anthropology

  • Culture

    Defining culture, cultural relativism against ethnocentrism, material and non-material culture, and cultural change.

  • Kinship & Family

    Descent systems, marriage and residence patterns, and how kinship organises rights and obligations.

  • Ritual & Belief

    Rites of passage, religion and magic, symbols, and the social functions of ritual.

  • Ethnography

    Fieldwork and participant observation, the ethnographer's position, and ethics in research.

  • Human Evolution

    Hominid species and the fossil record, bipedalism, tool use and the spread of modern humans.

  • Language & Communication

    Language and thought, non-verbal communication, and language as a carrier of culture.

How ScanSolve helps with Anthropology

ScanSolve answers with the concept applied to a named society or case, because anthropology marks specificity: a descent system is easier to explain through an example than in the abstract. Comparison questions are organised by feature across societies.

Where a question touches evolution, the answer keeps the evidence and the interpretation apart — what the fossil shows, and what is inferred from it — and says where the interpretation is contested.

Study tips for Anthropology

  1. 01

    Use a named society as your example wherever you can. Anthropology rewards the particular.

  2. 02

    Watch for ethnocentrism in your own wording. Describing a practice as "primitive" costs marks as well as accuracy.

  3. 03

    Keep evidence and inference separate, especially in evolution questions.

  4. 04

    Learn the rites-of-passage stages — separation, liminality, incorporation — and apply them to a real ceremony.
