DISCOVER WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN
Anthropologists study us. We learn how and why people and their cultures are both similar and different over time and around the world. Anthropologists study people and primates face-to-face and we study past peoples by exploring fossils and digging archaeological sites. We examine the evolutionary and historical formation of humans as cultural beings and the ways in which cultures change as people, things and ideas move and intermingle. In today's globalized world, we ask how the local shapes and is shaped by regional, national and global processes. Every career requires rich understandings of cultures in the context of our complicated, rapidly changing, interconnected human experience. There is no limit to where you can go with that kind of understanding of our world and its peoples.
