The four main subfields of anthropology are cultural, physical or biological, archaeology, and anthropological linguistics. First, cultural anthropology is a branch of anthropology, and it deals with or talks about the human existence and theirts cultures. Second, physical or biological anthropology is another branch of anthropology that teaches human beings from the perspectives of biologicaly and behavioral aspect. It is mainly concerned with the diversity and the evolution. Third, archaeology which talks about human past cultures by looking athe materials remains. It is also sometimes called the analysis of material culture. Fourth, anthropological linguistics basically talks about the different languages in the world, and their sounds, structures and their historical evolution.

Anthropology is not a science in the same sense as
thea natural science because the subject matter and its broad scope matches more closely with social sciences; therefore, it is not athe same as a natural science. In addition, it is also difficult to relate anthropological branches by looking at general laws because of the diversity of the human beings, and also their cqustomsickly changeing quicklyustoms. Hence, Aanthropology is not the science asin the same way as a natural science.

The statement
is an example of et“Thnocentrism British drive on the wrong side of the road…” its an example of ethnocentrism citselearf because it is thea statement made by thea person who is not a British, and values his own culture more or thinks they are superior thano the British. Therefore, this is clearly thean example of ethnocentrism. In addition, maybe that is the way they learn from theira young age, from their parents, and from otheir cultural phenomena. It is very hard to change something that we learn from our childhood. So in order to not to make the statement an example of ethnocentrism, we can look from thea British perspective, and say something like "they drive on thea different side of the road than us." All in all, the statement is an example of ethnocentrism.
