Anthropology at PLU
WELCOME
If you think that anthropology is limited to the study of stones and old
bones, think again! Though anthropology does look at stones and bones, it also
examines the politics, medicine, kinship, art, and religion of various peoples
and times. This makes the study of anthropology a complex task, for it requires
an understanding of the basics from numerous disciplines such as geology,
biology, art, and psychology.
Regardless of the specific area being studied,
the essence of anthropology is in the observation of different peoples and
cultures -- studying them as they really are instead of how you think they
should or should not behave. It is only through this detailed study of all
people that we gain the full picture of what it really is to be human.

Anthropology tries to bring the world's peoples into human focus.
Anthropologists don't come up with a theory and see if people live up to it.
They go and live with people and see what they do. |
