What is Social Anthropology?Sociocultural anthropology (also called social anthropology or cultural anthropology) is the study of contemporary human cultures. It includes the general themes ofáculture and economy, politics, ethnohistory, religion, oral traditions, art, and linguistics. Sociocultural anthropology also explores the role of meanings, ambiguities and contradictions of social life, patterns of sociality, violence and conflict, and the underlying logics of social behavior.
