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 behavior 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 19th 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 () According to the passage, anthropology is most likely defined as the study of A the biological and cultural characteristics of human beings B one of the sciences of humans C the lives of peoples all over the world D the distribution of human beings the world over () Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?
