Anthropological
Perspective
Anthropology is the study of humans from past and
present. It uses archaeology, biology,
cultural and linguistic to understand how humans act and why they act that
way. Anthropology is useful in
understanding disease because it uses all of these perspectives to get a
broader scope of the how this disease affected others. Instead of just focusing
on the biological, it takes a more holistic view in understand how this disease
shaped a society, or what cultural importance is placed on it.
