	The world's top Anthropology websites
		Central to anthropology is the concept of culture, and the notion that human nature is culture; that our species has evolved a universal capacity to conceive of the world symbolically, to teach and learn such symbols socially, and to transform the world (and ourselves) based on such symbols.
		Anthropology grew increasingly distinct from natural history and by the end of the nineteenth century the discipline began to crystallize into its modern form - by 1935, for example, it was possible for T.K. Penniman to write a history of the discipline entitled A Hundred Years of Anthropology.
		Anthropology in the U.S. Anthropology in the United States was essentially founded by Franz Boas, who used his positions at Columbia University and the American Museum of Natural History to train and develop multiple generations of students.

	Anthropology
		At Albion, the anthropology program offers more courses in cultural anthropology than in other subfields, but there are regularly offered courses in biological anthropology and archaeology and all anthropology majors are required to take one course in one of these sub-fields.
		Students are often able to complete requirements for the anthropology major while studying off-campus (specific requirements might be fulfilled by, for example, taking an archaeology or biological anthropology course or an anthropology course focusing on a particular region; anthropology courses can also be taken that help fulfill the requirement of 8 units for the major).
		Although anthropology and sociology are separate and distinct disciplines, they also have many things in common: theories and methodologies, a focus on cultural similarities and differences and a commitment to international and/or global studies.

	KSU - Department of Anthropology
		Anthropology is the academic discipline that studies humans holistically through an interdisciplinary lens: combining science with humanities; biology with culture; history with prehistory; and primates with language.
		Anthropology is by definition concerned with human diversity, and we have provided primary leadership within academia in researching this important domain for over one hundred years.
		By focusing on the complex linkages among the three subfields of anthropology- cultural anthropology, archaeology, and biological anthropology- and by emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary teamwork, anthropology prepares students to survive in an increasingly multidisciplinary and multicultural world.

	ANU - STUDYAT - UNDERGRADUATE - AOI BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
		Social anthropology split off as a separate discipline; and with the incorporation first of studies of non-human primates (primatology), then of human heredity (genetics), and most recently of mechanisms of human adaptation (including nutrition, demography, disease, ecology and climatic responses), the old “physical” anthropology was completely swallowed up.
		As a result of this history, biological anthropology is fuzzy at the edges: it merges into zoology (primatology and ecology), medicine and human biology (health, population structure and genetics), geology and palaeontology (human evolution), and of course archaeology and social anthropology.
		Throughout each course in biological anthropology the student is brought face to face with the relationships between human beings and the natural world: humans as animals, their biological functions, the origin of the human species and its special features, the interaction of health and the human environment.
