Anthropology

Anthropology
The study of humankind and its culture in the past, present and future.

Anthropology includes the specialized areas of archaeology (human cultures in the past), cultural anthropology (the study of modern cultures), linguistic anthropology (language, its history and development) and physical anthropology (including evolution, paleoanthropology, primatology and forensic science).

Since all societies have culture in one form or another, the study of anthropology will allow students to develop an understanding for their particular passion.
