Anthropology is the study of humanity. It has origins in the natural sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. The term "anthropology", pronounced /ænθrɵˈpɒlədʒi/, is from the Greek anthrōpos (ἄνθρωπος), "human", and -logia (-λογία), "discourse" or "study", and was first used in 1501 by German philosopher Magnus Hundt.
