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 health-related 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.
