Anthropology is the scientific study of human beings, both past and present, in all parts of the world. Students of anthropology explore patterns and processes of cultural change; examine human biological origins, variations, and evolution; analyze material remains to understand peoples of the past; and learn how language reflects and shapes social life. Interested students can learn more about what anthropologists do by visiting the American Anthropological Association.
