What Is Anthropology?

Anthropology is the study of people, past and present, and what makes us human. It’s a broad discipline that examines language, culture, societies and biological and material remains. Anthropology is also a dynamic field that is constantly integrating new technologies and ideas.

Anthropology is divided into four sub-fields: archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology and linguistic anthropology. While each of these fields are distinct, they all involve applying theories, using research methodologies, formulating hypotheses and developing sets of data.
