Anthropology
• Greek origins of word: – anthropos “man” – -ology “study of”
• The study of human biological and cultural variation, past and present
• Goal: understand uniqueness and diversity, and discover universal similarities

• Goal: understand uniqueness and diversity, and discover universal similarities
• Holistic approach: study many different aspects of human experience
