We Dig Anthropology

The Webster dictionary defines it as the study of human beings and their ancestors through time and space and in relation to physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture." The American Anthropological Association defines anthropology simply as "the study of what makes us human." The many aspects of anthropology are spread between four subfields, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology, but collaboration within and across each facet of anthropology allows a comprehensive study of a topic. Because anthropology is a broad field that includes anything about what it is to be human, almost every subject incorporates it to some degree, making a degree in anthropology applicable to many different areas.
