Anthropology

Undergrad minor

Anthropology is a social science that examines humans and the human experience — both past and present.It has four main subfields.

  • Cultural anthropology - the study of contemporary human cultures
  • Biological anthropology - the study of human evolution and how biology and culture interact to make us who we are
  • Linguistic anthropology - the study of human language
  • Archaeology - the study of the human past

These four sub-fields collectively explore the human condition and provide understanding of ourselves through a variety of different lenses. Ultimately, anthropology helps us understand who we are, where we came from, seeking cross-cultural understanding of all human groups today and in the past.
