anthropologically
Through cultural lens
From the perspective of anthropology—the study of human societies, cultures, and development.
The word typically modifies how something is examined or understood: Anthropologically speaking, gift-giving serves to strengthen social bonds.
It signals that the analysis considers human behavior across cultures rather than from a single society's viewpoint.
