人类学文学士

人类学是对人类，其文化，生物学，行为及其随时间变化（进化）的研究。因为我们研究人类的各个方面，所以人类学被认为是整体的和跨学科的，也就是说人类学家与生物学，生物学，生理学，社会学和心理学等其他科学领域紧密合作。很少。在犹他大学，人类学系分为四个主要部门：文化，生物学，进化生态学和考古学。文化人类学关注的是人类文化，以及人类文化如何随着时间和空间在世界范围内以及在史前时代之间的变化。生物人类学专注于古代和现代人类的解剖，生理和生物学变异性。生物人类学也通过研究非人类灵长类动物（例如黑猩猩和大猩猩）来研究自身
Anthropology is the study of humans and non-primates using comparative, evolutionary, and historical perspectives. Because we study all aspects of humans, anthropology is said to be holistic and inter-disciplinary, that is anthropologists work hand-in-hand with other sciences (such as biology, physiology, sociology and psychology), as well as the humanities (such as history, world languages & cultures, and religious studies).<br><br>At the University of Utah, the Anthropology Department is organized into four main divisions: Cultural, Biological, Evolutionary Ecology, and Archaeology. Cultural anthropology focuses on understanding the differences and similarities between groups of people over time, space, and scale - this includes how we think and behave, to how cultures evolved from the smallest family groups 200,000 years ago, to world's largest nation states today. Biological anthropology focuses on ancient and modern human anatomical, physiological, and biological variability. Biological anthropology also concerns itself with non-human primates like chimpanzees and gorillasby studying them, we hope to learn more about ourselves. Archaeology is the excavation and interpretation of what humans leave behind in order to infer how and why humans have evolved. Evolutionary ecology (sometimes known as behavioral ecology) examines human (and non-human primate) behavior and life-historywhy did human beings evolve the way they did.<br><br>Ultimately, anthropologists use all four sub-disciplines to describe and explain past and present human diversity. The Department takes a theoretically-driven, empirically-informed perspective focusing on the following specific areas of expertise: archaeology, genetics, behavioral ecology, cultural evolution, demography, paleoanthropology, hunter-gatherer behavior, and human and non-human primate behavior.
