What does it mean to be human? How did we get to be the way we are? What will
become of humans in the future?
Students and faculty in the School of
Anthropology at the University of Arizona try to answer these questions - and
many more - about our species.
The School of Anthropology enjoys a long tradition
of academic excellence, and today is ranked fifth in the United States. Well
respected by researchers throughout the world, it is home to a
diverse community of anthropologists who study all aspects of human life, from
our hominid origins millions of years ago to the vast diversity of populations
living in the world today.
Our anthropologists ask questions about all components of the human experience,
and seek to describe and interpret human behavior and culture, language,
biology, and the environment at many levels of organization - from molecules to
ecosystems.
The UA School of Anthropology is also one of the few institutions to fully support the
integrated subdiscipline approach to Anthropology, with research departments
embracing Sociocultural Anthropology, Biological Anthropology, Archaeology and
Linguistic Anthropology.
Through the department, the University of Arizona provides meaningful
opportunities to learn about what is human, how we evolved, and what lies in
our future...
