ENMU Anthropology Department

Anthropology, the study of humanity past and present, has four subdivisions:

• Archaeology: The study of past cultures
• Biological Anthropology: The study of biological structure
• Ethnology: The cross-cultural study of today's societies
• Linguistics: The study of human communication as one important aspect of peoples and culture

Utilizing these viewpoints, the discipline brings together various studies of peoples into a meaningful whole. Because of this orientation, anthropology is steadily growing in importance in education, industry, business, and national and international government service.
