Learn more about Anthropology
Anthropology, the comparative study of humanity and culture, seeks to explain both diversity and similarity in human behavior and biology around the world. It is an academic discipline that integrates a number of specialized fields, including physical anthropology, archaeology, social and cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and applied studies of human problems. Anthropology students can study a wide range of issues including human evolution, human cultural diversity, human language, the human past and present, and the relationship between biology and behavior.
