Anthropology around the world

First, it should be noted that the difference of anthropological schools about disciplines, disciplines, fields and approaches to research is understandable in light of the difference in history, culture and the dominant philosophical current Rather, the difference in perception of this science and its function and purpose also, so the difference was not limited to the countries of the first world, so it was repeated when the post-colonial countries engaged in anthropological research, as happened in Africa.

An example of national privacy is the flow of custom in some countries of Europe – most notably France – to assign the task of studying man as long as it is “last”, whether temporally or spatially, to anthropology, while sociology is sponsored By studying modern Western societies.
