Abstract

Anthropology is the study of human beings. It examines humans from evolutionary development to the distinct social and cultural traits that differentiate them from other animals. Anthropology studies various aspects of human life, society, and behavior. Since anthropology has integrated the empirical developments of the 20th century, it has evolved into a composite discipline, encompassing multiple fields. This article explores the beliefs, customs, and social practices of the Aindhinai communities through an anthropological lens.
