Abstract

Without any doubt, anthropology is a science about man, and consequently we may ask if anthropological research could ever be unrelated to the physicality of human being in the world? We are “made” of matter and energy, and the whole of our world is a world of information. Matter, energy, and information are the basal substances of human beings, and therefore, new scientific discoveries about these substances cannot be neglected. The paradigmatic change in physics caused by the quantum revolution has shown that matter has a different substance than is expected by classical, Newtonian mechanics. These incentives raise new questions that are important for anthropological theory, such as how to understand human beings in the quantum perspective?
