Anthropology is the comparative study of cultures, societies and human diversity across space and time.
Uniquely in academia, anthropology integrates approaches across the social and natural sciences and humanities to understand the human condition. Anthropologists emphasize human variation and the situated and subjective ways humans create meaning, value and engage in society within wider technological, economic and political forces.
