Description:

Anthropology is a social science that seeks to understand and explain human cultural, behavioral, and biological variation through time and space. This gives anthropology a wide reach and has resulted in the formation of three subdisciplines: social anthropology, archaeology, and physical anthropology. Social anthropology concentrates on modern human culture and behavior. Archaeology examines cultural and behavioral variation over time. Physical anthropology studies the biological evidence for human evolution, encom­­passing everything from the study of modern non-human primates to the earliest stages of mammalian fossil evolution. The objective of the Anthropology major is to train the student in all three subdisciplines while allowing the student to concentrate in a specific subdiscipline.
