Less competition. Liberal correction (as few take anthropology in KPSC unlike Kannada, geography, Public administration and Rural development) Is it true that only science students should take Anthropology? As you can see in the syllabus only a fraction of the it (about 15%) contains science related topics and that too the Basics of Human evolution and genetics. These are school level and can be handled by any non science background student with ease. Further this makes the subject interesting as it brings in variety in your preparation. These questions need to be answered in points and hence makes it more easy to approach. So what are the things that we need to study in Anthropology?
Majority of Paper 1 of Anthropology consists of study of human culture and society. Here we study the different aspects of human culture like Marriage, Religion, Economy etc and different explanation of how culture evolved. In addition Paper 1 also consists of how humans evolved and the variations in humans. In paper 2 we mainly study about 2 things. One, about Indian culture, its different dimensions and the other about Indian tribes and their issues.
