Anthropology

Anthropology is the formal study of humankind. It studies the total panorama of human life from it's past emergence as Homo sapiens to the diverse behaviors and commonalities among all living human cultures and societies.

The scope of anthropology

Who are we? How have we come to be that way? How have things gone well or for ill? Where might we go in the future? Anthropologists use both qualitative and quantitative research methods to discover answers to such fundamental questions as these.
