Why Study Anthropology? “Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the whole world over – except when they are different.” —Nancy Banks-Smith
What does it mean to major in anthropology? Imagine a window which looks into another world. When you look through that window you understand your own world better. Anthropology is that window. Anthropologists study the concept of culture and its relationship to human life in different times and places. They study other societies to gain a clearer perspective on our own. They study the past to help interpret the present.
