Human beings in all times and places think about their world
and wonder at their place in it. Humans are thoughtful and
creative, possessed of insatiable curiosity. Furthermore, human                      【A1】________
have the ability to modify the environment where they live in,                        【A2】________
thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and
fancies. Therefore, it is important to study humans in all their
richness and diversity of a calm and systematic manner, with the                   【A3】________
hope of the knowledge resulting from such studies can lead                          【A4】________
humans to a more harmonious way of living with them and with                    【A5】________
all other life forms on this planet Earth. Anthropology is a branch
of intellectual enquiry which seeks to study humans and their
endeavors in the same reasoned, orderly, and systematic manners                  【A6】________
that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena.
Anthropology makes extensive use of the comparative method in
analysis. The emphasis on datas gathered firsthand, combined                        【A7】________
with a cross-cultural perspective brought to the analysis of
cultures past and present, make this study a unique and distinctly                    【A8】________
important social science. Anthropological analyses rest heavily
upon the concept of culture. Sir Edward Tylor's formulation of the

conception of culture was one of the great intellectual                                     【A9】________
achievements of 19th century science. Tylor defined culture as
“... that complex whole which includes belief, art, morals, law,
customs, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as                【A10】________
a member of society.” Implicit within Tylor's definition is the
concept that culture is learned, shared, and patterned behavior.
