Anthropology studies humans as biological and cultural beings in a holistic and comparative perspective. From our earliest beginnings to the present, the questions at the foundation of anthropology cross disciplines and force philosophers and scientists to face the limitations of their domains.
Our Anthropology Program offers students a broad-based, cross-cultural understanding...
The study of anthropology leads to a knowledge of the world's cultural, social and biological diversity in the past and present. Although the focus of such knowledge is the entirety of the human experience, students of anthropology apply their comparative perspective to reflect upon their own lives, beliefs and taken-for-granted assumptions. In this sense, anthropology provides a strong foundation for "the examined life," a Socratic ideal that is...
Anthropology is the study of humans as both biological and cultural beings. Anthropology students explore past societies through their material remains as well as present-day cultures using a wide variety of methodologies. The Anthropology major at Franklin Pierce offers a combination of classroom study, fieldwork, and study abroad that helps students appreciate the richness and complexity of the human present and past.
Archaeological research involves attempting to discover aspects of human technological adaptation, social organization, and ideology through the analysis of material remains recovered from excavations at archaeological sites. This analysis may be peculiarly archaeological in nature - the classification of broken pieces of pottery is an example - or may involve the use of techniques and information from fields as diverse as astronomy, botany, chemistry,...
The Biological Anthropology program at Harvard takes a strongly comparative and evolutionary approach to understanding the evolution of humans and our closest primate relatives.
We teach and engage in field and laboratory research in human reproductive biology, primate and human behavioral ecology, primate evolutionary genetics, functional and developmental morphology, and the paleontological evidence for hominoid and hominid evolution....
Social Anthropologists explore the social and cultural diversity of human experience, practice, and knowledge. This interest in diversity leads social anthropologists to study a wide range of phenomena, for example: gender and ethnicity; social suffering, violence and practices of healing; military culture; race, religion and diaspora; the role of the media in society; the production of history and historic conservation; popular culture, consumption...

Anthropology is broadly defined as the study of human diversity. As a discipline, it is comprised of four distinct subfields:
* cultural anthropology, concerned with living societies;
* linguistic anthropology, dealing with variability in language and the role of language in culture;
* archaeology, studying past societies through material and written remains; and
* bio-physical anthropology, focusing on human evolution and the interaction...
The major in Anthropology gives a firm grounding in this comparative discipline concerned with the diverse cultural, social, and biological patterns of human societies. Anthropology deals not only with that small proportion of humankind in Europe and North America but with societies of the entire world, from the remotest past to the present day. It is thus an essential part of a sound liberal education, helping us to see our world from a perspective...
