人类学是对时间和世界范围内人类多样性的比较研究。它的范围涵盖人文，社会科学以及生物，物理和进化科学。作为人类的历史，人类学研究了从最早的化石记录到现在的所有人类生物学和行为变异，还包括对非人类灵长类动物的研究。作为社会科学，人类学旨在揭示过去和现在社会的模式。作为人文学科之一，人类学试图了解文化意义和政治力量塑造人类经验的方式。
Anthropology is one of the few major fields to combine fascinating course work and practical career training in one academic package. Anthropology the study of who we are and how we came to be that way not only provides a sound Liberal Arts education but also gives students a needed edge in today's fiercely competitive world of careers and jobs. In these times of narrow specialization, anthropological study is refreshingly broad. Topics range from tribal New Guinea politics to chimpanzee language to issues in providing health care for urban America's poor. As a result, anthropology majors frequently adopt outlooks on life that are as broad as the discipline itself.<br><br>At the University of WisconsinMadison, anthropology consists of three subfields: archaeology the investigation and analysis of the remains from past cultures, uncovered through excavation, biological anthropology the study of human evolution and the roots of the biological and genetic diversity found among contemporary peoples, and sociocultural anthropology the comparative study of society, politics, economy, and culture, whether in historical times or in our contemporary moment. UWMadison also offers some classes in anthropological linguistics the analysis of language and its place in social life. Comparative and empirical work and fieldwork in particular are the hallmarks of anthropology on this campus.
