Why study anthropology?
Through the study of culture, anthropology offers students a set of
tools and skills that help make sense of how human difference
across both time and space is simultaneously preserved and
threatened within an increasingly interconnected and globalized
world. Archaeological anthropologists excavate the remains of
past societies to learn about how we have changed and
remained the same over time. Cultural and linguistic
anthropologists engage contemporary communities to learn
about the most pressing social, political, economic and healthrelated problems experienced by people throughout the world.
Biological anthropologists examine human biological evolution
and genetic diversity in order to understand how social and
cultural choices are enacted on and encoded within the human
body. This holistic study of culture enables anthropologists to
provide the sort of expertise that is sought by non-profits,
businesses, government agencies, community organizations and
cultural resource management firms.
