Anthropology, the science of man, is the most interesting subject in the way to know ourselves – how man and his culture has developed and perpetuated.  It reveals the history of continous bio-social adjustment of man under bare nature.  It also asserts the present position of man with culture dynamics.

Although the subject – Anthropology is linked to other specialized sciences like Geology, Archaeology, Biology, Zoology, Physiology, Psychology, Ethnology, Sociology, Political Science, etc. but none of those sciences could explain the whole tale of man since the beginning, from the days of struggle and confrontation to the present state of advancement.  Rather, the survival of man contributed in the existence of those sciences.

The book has been written lucidly in simple language with plenty of examples.  It offers a blueprint for the subject Anthropology as such to satisfy the general readers also who are enthusiastic to know more and more about Man.
