MS Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of people throughout place and time. Unlike the other social sciences, it is holistic, meaning it combines the biological, cultural, and environmental to understand humans. There are four subdisciplines of Anthropology: cultural, linguistic, archaeology, and biological. Anthropology is the systematic study of humanity, with the goal of understanding our evolutionary origins, our distinctiveness as a species, and the great diversity in our forms of social existence across the world and through time. To understand the full sweep and complexity of cultures across all of human history, anthropology draws and builds upon knowledge from the social and biological sciences as well as the humanities and physical sciences. Anthropology is the study of the origin and development of human societies and cultures. Culture is the learned behavior of people, including their languages, belief systems, social structures.Anthropology is the study of the human, humanity, and human condition with an approach to include everything.
