If someone was to ask me what anthropology was, prior to this assignment, I would have probably taken an educated guess such as “the study of life”. In a sense that is correct but not entirely accurate. Anthropology is defined as, “The study of human kind in all times and places” (Haviland, Prins, McBride, & Walrath, 2017).

In 1923, the Lausanne Treaty was signed between Greece and Turkey, agreeing to a population exchange between their countries. The treaty stated that the Muslims living in Greece would be sent to Turkey, and the Orthodox Christians in Turkey would be sent to Greece.
