Anthropology is the study of people—what it means to be human, how we communicate, origins of cultures, comparing cultures and histories, and historical and environmental factors influencing behavior and worldviews. This discipline includes archaeology and cultural anthropology (the department’s specialty areas), as well as physical anthropology and linguistics.
