Anthropology
is the study of people: where
they came from, how they live differently in different societies across
the world, how they interact with each other and with their
environment. Anthropology comes in two 'flavours', and you can study
either, or both, at Kent:
- Social
Anthropology
is the study of how societies work and how people live - from factory
workers in Burnley to tribal Indians in the Amazon - including beliefs,
customs, religions, myths, prejudices and aspirations.
- Biological
Anthropology
is the study of how humans evolved, and of the biological aspects of
humans, and their societies, today, for example nutrition, genetic
variation, and adaptation to the environment.
