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.
