Abstract: | ¶What is Anthropology • Anthropology is the study of people—past and present—with a focus on understanding the human condition both culturally (socially) and biologically (physically). This joint emphasis sets anthropology apart from other humanities and natural sciences. In a general sense, anthropology is concerned with determining what humans are, how they evolved, and how they differ from one another. The study of anthropology is often divided into four sub-disciplines: archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. ¶Course Objectives • Introduce students to anthropology as a discipline and its methodologies • Help students develop analytical, communicative, and critical thinking skills through using anthropological knowledge • Think critically about social issues and articulate diverse perspectives • Recognize, appreciate, value, and respect cultural difference and diversity |
