Anthropology is the study of humanity, and Sociology is the study of human social relationships. The benefit of studying them together is gaining insights into how society works by examining how we live now and the various societies and cultures that have existed over time. People spend their entire lives in social groups and networks, from family to global systems. By investigating the diversity of cultures across the globe and studying human evolution and the ancient past, you entertain new perceptions of what makes life meaningful. Students delve into Homo sapiens’ context in communities to uncover a rich understanding of the human story. Developing the ability to analyze society is a core component of our students’ educational and personal development. Statement on race, racism, and evolution from American Association of Anthropology.
