In Russian academic circles, антропология often refers specifically to physical anthropology or biological anthropology rather than the broader social science used in English.
The root of the word, челове́к (human/person), is used in many Russian words related to humanity, but 'anthropology' retains its Greek roots rather than using the Slavic ones.
In Russian, the root антропо- appears in the common term антропоцентризм, reflecting a deep philosophical tradition regarding the role of humans in the universe.
