Course summary

This program is the systematic study of humankind, globally and temporally. It stands apart from other disciplines as its classic subfields biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, cultural anthropology (or ethnology) bridge the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. A fifth subfield, applied anthropology, uses anthropological skills and knowledge to address contemporary social issues. The discipline provides grounding in an integrated, holistic, and comparative understanding of the biological and cultural aspects of the human experience.
