Research methods in anthropology

Research methods in anthropology involve various ways anthropologists study human cultures, behaviors, and societies. They often use participant observation, living within communities to observe and understand daily life. They conduct interviews and collect stories to gain insights directly from people. Anthropologists also analyze artifacts, texts, and material remains to learn about past and present cultures. These methods help build a comprehensive picture of human diversity, relationships, and changes over time. The goal is to understand humans in their cultural context while respecting their perspectives and experiences.
