Anthropology is the study of humans and their cultures in the broadest sense. It is the study of humanity, past and present, in all its biological and cultural aspects. Anthropologists study the diversity, origins, and evolution of human and primate culture and behavior, the development of human culture and the processes of culture change, the phenomenon of language, and the structure and meaning of human interaction.

Anthropology is unique in its approach to the study of humanity in both the deep span of time and the breadth of aspects of humanity considered, bridging social, biological, and earth sciences and the humanities. Click on the photos above to learn more about our areas of study.
