Anthropology is the study of human diversity through all time and across all space. Anthropology differs from other fields of social science in its emphasis on comparative or cross-cultural perspectives on human biology, society, and culture. In this regard, anthropology appears boundless, and this course will span topics including human evolution, archaeology, race and racism, linguistics, religion, technology, gender, genetics, health and disease, material culture, art, music, and more. You have to open your mind, as famed anthropologist Margaret Mead insisted, to appreciate the breadth of the human condition.
