Anthropology is the holistic study of humankind. It studies all aspects of human life in all geographic regions of all time periods, from its evolution as Homo sapiens to its diverse manifestations within cultures and societies, both past and present. Since recorded history, people have sought answers to such probing questions as, Who are we? How have we come to be as we are? How diverse peoples can peaceably coexists? and What might the past and present tell us about our future? Anthropology seeks to answer these and many other fundamentally humanistic questions. Anthropology employs both qualitative and quantitative research methods within its numerous subdisciplines. Common to all anthropologists is the method of fieldwork. A physical anthropologist may observe wild or captive primates, or dig prehistoric sites to discover clues about humankind’s origins and early, migration patterns, while an applied anthropologist plays games with disadvantaged schoolchildren to advise school administratiors on how to create conflictreducing after-school programmes. A socio-cultural anthropologist may live in a hut among tribal communities to learn the meanings of their unique rituals and political economy, while a linguistic anthropologist interacts with native language speakers at a family function to discover clues to their cultural retention amidst a globalizing societ. Within each of these and the myriad other ways and places in which anthroplogists conduct day-to-day research, they, seek answers to benefit humanking. Anthropology has been described as “the reformer’s science”, and the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities”.

निर्देश: नीचे दिए गए गद्यांश को पढ़कर सबसे उचित विकल्प का चयन कीजिए:

जीवन में बहुत अंधकार है और अंधकार की ही भाँति अशुभ ओर अनीति है। कुछ लोग इस अंधकार को स्वीकार कर लेते हैं और तब उनके भीतर जो प्रकाश तक पहुँचने और पीने की आकांक्षा थी, वह क्रमशः क्षीण होती जाती है। मैं अधंकार की इस स्वीकृति को मनुष्य का सबसे बड़ा पाप कहता हूँ। यह मनुष्य का स्वयं अपने प्रति किया गया अपराध है। उसके दूसरों के प्रति किए गए अपराधों का जन्म इस मूल पाप से ही होता है। यह स्मरण रहे कि जो व्यक्ति अपने ही प्रति इस पाप को नहीं करता है, वह किसी के प्रति कोई पाप हीं कर सकता है। किन्तु कुछ लोग अंधकार के स्वीकार से बचने के लिए उसके अस्वीकार में लग जाते हैं। उनका जीवन अंधकार के निषेध का ही सतत उपक्रम बन जाता है।
