Anthropology

Join us in exploring the mysteries and complexities of human behavior. Anthropology is the scientific study of human origins, and their behavioral, social, and cultural development.

Cultural and social anthropology are the most well-known of the sub-disciplines. They study the behavioral aspects of social groups and the ways in which people develop, adapt and behave in non-genetic terms. Ethnography, the systematic recording of a culture in -depth, is a primary component of anthropology.

Forensic anthropology uses physical anthropological technology to answer legal questions about the biological identification and analysis of human remains. Linguistic anthropology looks at the social use and development of written and unwritten language.
