Anthropology is the study of what it means to be human ? past, present, and future ??anywhere in?the world. ?It is global and it is local. Anthropologists study everything about people,?ranging from the study of culture and social relations to human biology and evolution. It includes languages music, art, and architecture, and even the past vestiges of ancient human lives.

Anthropology tackles?topics such as how human behavior changes over time, how people move about the world, why and how people from varied?cultures are different?and yet also fundamentally the same, how the human species has evolved over millions of years, and how individuals understand and operate successfully in diverse?cultural settings.

Anthropology includes four broad fields and at UALR we believe a well rounded Anthropology student should have a grounding in all four.
