Answers
For us to answer this question will need to analyze each discipline with their nature and goal.
Anthropology
Anthropology is the scientific study of humanity, concerned with human behavior, human biology, and societies, in both the present and past, including past human species. In other words Anthropology, “the science of humanity,” which studies human beings in aspects ranging from the biology and evolutionary history of Homo sapiens to the features of society and culture that decisively distinguish humans from other animal species.
Nature of Anthropology
Its roots go back to the intellectual Enlightenment of the 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe and North America. As European nations developed colonies in distant parts of the world and Americans expanded west and south into the territories of Indians, it became apparent to them that humanity was extremely varied.
Anthropology began, in part, as an attempt by members of scientific societies to objectively record and comprehend this variation. Curiosity about strange people and customs in far off parts of the world is what primarily motivated these early amateur anthropologists.
By profession, they most often were naturalists, medical doctors, Christian clerics, or educated explorers. They asked such fundamental questions as whether or not the differences between human cultures are the result of genetic inheritance and if there is a relationship between the size of a human brain and intelligence. It was late 19th century that anthropology finally became a separate academic discipline in American and Western European universities.
Goals of Anthropology:
Firstly, one of the main goals of an anthropologist is to understand the fossil record of early humans and their ancestors as well as the archaeological record of more recent prehistoric societies.
Secondly, to understand how we adapt to different environmental conditions and how we vary as a species.
