Anthropology is an interdisciplinary field that investigates human beings across multiple dimensions: biological and evolutionary aspects, cultural practices, linguistic patterns, and archaeological records. The discipline seeks to understand both universal patterns and cultural diversity, often through long-term fieldwork, participant observation, ethnography, and comparative analysis. It emphasizes holistic explanations that consider social, environmental, historical, and biological contexts.

Within the field, several subfields commonly described with the term antropologiske include cultural anthropology, physical (biological) anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. Applied anthropology extends anthropologiske insights to real-world problems in areas such as public health, education, development, and heritage preservation. Because the term is language-specific, its use signals a focus on scholarly or academic discourse related to the study of humans, whether in theoretical discussions or empirical investigations.
