ANT 104-03 & 04 - Anthropological Inquiries

4 credits (Fall)

Variation. Variation is the driving force of natural selection and the reason for ongoing change and diversity in our world. If everything were the same the world would be intensely boring. A broad field of study, anthropology is often split into four main subcategories. Each subfield serves as an umbrella for additional specialization. These include biological anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. In this course we will examine each subfield and how variation plays a pivotal role in our understanding and investigation of human biology, behavior, evolution, language, culture, and more.

Prerequisite: None.
