Overview

To an Anthropology graduate from the University of Cincinnati, diversity itself – seen in body shapes and sizes, blood types, different kinds of languages, customs, clothing, religion and ideas about the world – provides a frame of reference for understanding any single aspect of life. Archaeologists study the things humans created, used, and left behind to understand ancient societies and how they lived.

Biological anthropologists study our species and its close relatives, tracing their biological origins, development and genetic diversity to understand human evolutionary history.

Cultural anthropologists seek to describe how societies and their institutions are constituted to explain differences among them.

Success

While each branch of anthropology carries its own special techniques and required skill sets, certain attributes common to all will help a student succeed:

open-mindedness and willingness to understand how other social and cultural systems work

intellectual curiosity about human similarities and differences

desire to find out how things actually are vs. how someone thinks they "should be"

analytic ability and, for some branches, some quantitative and statistical skills

verbal facility: ability to read carefully and write clearly and concisely

desire to cultivate a disciplined imagination
