"What, Who, Why, Where, When & How Genealogy (Anthropology)”
2:00 pm to 3:00 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada)
- Anthropology is the study of humans, human behavior and societies in the past and present.
- Social anthropology and cultural anthropology study the norms and values of societies.
This lecture will analyze genealogy from the anthropological point of view, trying to explain and demonstrate what, who, why, where, when and how genealogy is done.
