Anthropology class??

Question

Hello, this year one of my courses is anthropology and I have no idea at all what it is. So can you please tell me what it is about and how I can succeed it in and what kind of things we do?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Anthropology is the study of humanity. Branches are linguistics, bio/physical and primatology, archeology, and socio-cultural.  An introductory course is usually socio-cultural but will briefly explain the other branches and how they relate.  It is not necessary for Medicine but is a great elective to meet a core requirement since you will be working with humans. Topics usually include subsistence patterns, religions, language patterns, marriage and family patterns, organization patterns, etc.  Bio/physical might also be up your alley since it's more or less anatomy of humans and paleo primates.

Answer 2

anthropology is the study of man....ancient, current, human bones, etc. Archeology is a Branch of Anthro...it is very cool stuff!

Answer 3

No, anthropology is completely unrelated to medicine.
