Welcome
Anthropologists study people—our diversity, our cultural practices, our social and political relations, our evolutionary history and our changing environments over time.

"With each class, I learned to see the world with a different lens. The study of human culture is an endlessly fascinating endeavor. My mentors and teachers made it all the more enjoyable and rewarding!"
