What is Anthropology?
At its most basic level, the study of Anthropology is the examination of all aspects of humanity. It is the scientific consideration of our past, present, and in some cases even our species’ very future.

Anthropology is divided into several distinct,
but overlapping sub-fields:

Archaeology
The study of humanity’s past through material remains.

Physical Anthropology
The study of humanity through biological remains.

Cultural Anthropology
The study of humanity’s culture, both past and present.
