CONCLUSION
i believe that all the concepts relate through the
man, because the man is the base for everything.
Without man, there would be no families or
societies, & with out them there would be no
object of study for the anthropological studies or
researches. Another thing that I think that
relates to every concept is the family, because
that's where humans find their identities &
traditions, and thanks to that there's diversity &
differences between societies & regions
