Anthropology is concerned
with the study of humanity as a part of the natural world, and of
culture that developed to cope with that world. Anthropologists have
dealt largely with prehistoric and small-scale societies and cultures
in an effort to arrive at an understanding of universal cultural laws.
Anthropologists are increasingly studying large-scale societies and
the interaction between small- and large-scale cultures in the global
system.. While
anthropologists have largely focused on prehistoric and non-western
societies and cultures, increasingly they are applying basic concepts
and methods to the study of modern, complex societies. The strengths of
the anthropology program include historical archaeology and the
archaeology and cultural study of the Plateau. |
