OVERVIEW
Anthropology is the study of man in totality including studying all kinds of
societies and culture such as tribal and modern societies-their socio-culture
institutions viz. marriage, family, kinship, economic institution, political
system and belief pattern such as religion and magic. Anthropology also deals
with prehistoric and modern societies i.e. socio-cultural evolution. Apart from
these, Anthropology studies man as a creature i.e. studying origin and evolution
of man and their physical variations from place to place. Thus, the syllabus of
anthropology optional has been well maintaining the tradition i.e. holism.
Whereas, other social sciences deal with man in a peace meal manner e.g.
history studies past event of man, sociology deals with social structure of man
not biological aspect of man at all, while economics & political science dealing
with economic and political institution respectively.

OBSERVATION
üThus anthropology is a holistic study of man i.e. studying man in
totality where as other social science studying man in an atomistic
manner in dealing with man in part manner.
üAs far as anthropology syllabus in UPSC/PCS is considered the
1st paper deals with world anthropology i.e. socio cultural and
biological evolution and variations across the world. While the
2nd paper is associated with Indian anthropology i.e. socio-
cultural and biological evolution and variations of mankind to be
studied in the Indian context.
Thus, the syllabus is well intended to consistently pursue the
tradition of anthropology i.e. holism.
