Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of past and present humans and societies. As a student of Anthropology at SPSCC, you’ll focus on human biological and cultural origins, modern biological variation, past and present cultural variation, and the relationship between language and culture.

Some anthropologists study the past through language, culture, and archaeological remains. Others look to the future and apply their knowledge to solve contemporary human problems. Food acquisition and distribution, disaster preparedness, the impact of climate change, and cross-cultural communication in a globalized society – all of these continue to shape modern human culture and biology.
