Anthropology is the study of Societical Customs and Traditions. This field of study compliments and uses Archaeology with descriptive life styles of tribal environments and traditions. Careful scrutiny has to be taken in the validation process to assure correctness when defining certain customs and traditions. Man can leap to false conclusions with fabrications driven from theories and speculation while ignoring the clear evidence of Scriptures. Clearly, man’s secular history has been recorded from many various perspectives. Much care must be taken to assure historical facts are not skewed from records from ostensible culture sources.
Anthropology is the broad study of humankind in the world. It is concerned with both biological and cultural aspects of humans. Specific specialties included is anthropology consist of four main subdivisions:
Mechanisms of biological
evolution, genetic inheritance, human adaptability and variation, primatology,
and the fossil record of human evolution. The term “evolution”
clearly implies a rejection of Biblical Truths. The theory of human evolution
is in direct conflict with Genesis 1.
