Anthropology is the study of humans. You will integrate science, social science, and humanities perspectives to understand what it means to be human. Because individuals and societies are complex and dynamic, anthropology covers evolutionary origins, material artifacts, socio-cultural practices, language, worldviews, and cultural change over time.

The discipline is traditionally divided into cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, biological (or physical) anthropology, and archaeology. Of these, we emphasize cultural and linguistic anthropology here at Reed.

Anthropology is the comparative study of humanity that focuses on people in all places throughout history.
