Document Summary

Science based on facts and observation- verifiable truth a critical effort to understand eg-humans have larger brains and smaller teeth. Hypothesis: explanation for the observed fact and all must be testable- a potential must exist for the hypothesis to be rejected. After testing it several time and the results are the same it becomes a theory- that is the relationship btw facts, hypothesis and theory. Everything has to start with observation than u frame hypothesis and u test it and u either accept it or reject it (after several times of testing- it becomes a theory in science) Anthropology: study of human beings- its too general therefore, it is the science of human culture and biological variation and evolution. -most imp featureit has emphasis on biology and culture, and their interaction. -human beings are not solely biological or cultural ( when they interact they influence each other)
