Anthropology Department

The Anthropology Department studies humans—our biology, history, cultures, and societies—across time and space. It explores what makes us uniquely human, including our origins, diverse ways of life, languages, and social structures. By examining artifacts, traditions, and physical features, anthropologists aim to understand human behavior, evolution, and cultural diversity. The department often combines sciences and humanities to provide a comprehensive view of humanity, helping us appreciate different cultures and understand how past and present influences shape human experience today.
