Anthropology engages in the study of humans, in all their complexity, both past and present, from both a cultural and biological point of view. It addresses some of the most challenging issues of our time, including conflict, environmental change, global health, human adaptation, human behaviour and social inequality.
Anthropology students develop social research skills and have an increased knowledge and understanding of human cultural diversity. Many students find that anthropology broadens their thinking and gives them perspective on interpretations offered by other disciplines.
