WHAT IS ANTHROPOLOGY?
Anthropology, which views human biology, behavior and society (both past and present) in a cross-cultural perspective, combines scientific and humanistic interests in a modern social science framework. It includes biological anthropology (biological diversity and evolutionary history of human and nonhuman primates), archaeology (human prehistory and the organization and growth of technology), sociocultural anthropology (comparative study of social structures and institutions from hunter-gatherer settings to urban settings), and anthropological linguistics (comparative study of languages and communications). Instruction in these four subfields is characteristic of a comprehensive baccalaureate program in anthropology.
