SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY

The science of social anthropology is based on the study of the relations and the social systems of the different human societies. This sort of research deals with the comparison between the social systems in time and space, with the aim of verifying their structure and the features that distinguish each way of behaviour. In this sense, one of the main goals of the study of social anthropology is to know how and why humans behave in a different way according to the societies they live in.

Hence the manifest interest in knowing the individual and collective ways of behaviour that are institutionalized or take part in the social environment, and knowing about the organizations in which is legitimized a kind of social behaviour, such as: family, kinship, marriage, economical, political and legal functions, and also the ones belonging to religion, to ethics and to the results that the social relations produce.
