Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Etymologically, anthropology is the science of humans. In fact, however, it is only one of the
sciences of humans, bringing together those disciplines the common aims of which are to describe
human beings and explain them on the basis of the biological and cultural characteristics of the
populations among which they are distributed and to emphasize, through time, the differences
and variations of these populations. The concept of race, on the one hand, and that of culture, on
the other, have received special attention; and although their meaning is still subject to debate,
these terms are doubtless the most common of those in the anthropologist's vocabulary.

Anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human differences, was born after the
Age of Discovery had opened up societies that had remained outside the technological civilization
of the modern West. In fact, the field of research was at first restricted to those societies that had
been given one unsatisfactory label after another, "savage," "primitive," "tribal", "traditional" or
even "proliferate," "prehistorical" and so on. What such societies had in common, above all, was
being the most "different" or the most foreign to the anthropologist; and in the early phases of
anthropology, the anthropologists were always European or North American. The distance
between the researcher and the object of his study has been a characteristic of anthropological
research; it has been said of the anthropologist that he was the “astronomer of the sciences of
man."
Anthropologists today study more than just primitive societies. Their research extends not
only to village communities within modern societies but also to cities, even to industrial
enterprises. Nevertheless, anthropology’s first field of research, and the one that perhaps remains
the most important, shaped its specific point of view with regard to the other sciences of man and
defined its theme. If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing about patterns of human
behaviour seen in all their dimensions and with achieving a total description of social and cultural
phenomena, this is because anthropology has observed small-scale societies, which are simpler or
at least more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a slower pace. Thus, they
are easier to see whole.
What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the
cultural characteristics of man? Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major
spheres, the study of man’s biological characteristics and the study of his cultural characteristics.
The reasons for this split are manifold, one being the rejection of the initial mistakes regarding
correlations between race and culture. More generally speaking, the vast field of 19 th century
anthropology was subdivided into a series of increasingly specialized disciplines, using their own
methods and techniques that were given different labels according to national traditions.
