| Anthropology is concerned with human biological, social,
and cultural development. This broad mandate has led to the division
of the discipline into four distinctive areas of research.
Archaeology studies surviving evidence of people's activities
in the past. From the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts
uncovered, archaeologists draw conclusions about the organization of
social groups, their adaptations to environment, and their spatial and
temporal relations. General research topics include the origins of culture
and technology, adaptations to extreme climates, the peopling of the
New World, development of food production and political inequality in
the Old and New Worlds.
Linguistic and Semiotic Anthropology studies how language and other
systems of human communication contribute to the reproduction, transmission,
and transformation of culture. It is concerned with the role of language
and other communicative systems in reproducing and transforming such
aspects of society as power relations, ideology, subcultural expression,
as well as class, gender and ethnic identity.
Biological Anthropology is the study of the biological diversity of
humans, the history of this diversity, and the biological relationships
between humans and non-human primates. Major foci in Biological (Physical)
Anthropology include Human Biology, the study of modern humans; Osteology,
the study of the human skeleton; Paleoanthropology, the study of human
evolution; and Primatology, the study of non-human primates. Biological
anthropologists integrate biological and social variables in their explanations
of the effects of evolution on humans and other primates.
Social and Cultural Anthropology: traditionally, Social Anthropology
dealt with non-literate and isolated societies, which could be observed
in their totality. Today, many social anthropologists also study such
aspects of complex societies as peasantry, ethnic minorities, and industrial
work groupings. Institutions and models of social behaviour are compared
cross-culturally to establish more general concepts and theories.
Careers in Anthropology emphasize either theoretical, academic aspects
or practical applications. Most institutions involved in teaching and
research require anthropologists with a Ph.D. For practical applications,
at least an M.A. is usually required. The Undergraduate Program provides
excellent preparation for business or public service careers in which
international and human diversity issues are important. Courses in anthropology
provide a unique grounding and can be fruitfully combined with courses
in a wide variety of other disciplines.
