“Anthropology is the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities” – Alfred L. Kroeber
What is Anthropology?
Anthropology is the scientific study of the human species, both past, and present. Anthropologists seek to answer the fundamental questions about human nature. Including answering questions about dynamic relationships between humans and the world in which we live, our development, our social relationships, our connection to the environment, and the ways we plan for the future.
