Anthropology

Introduction to Anthropology

Three anthropologists describe how they first became interested in anthropology and how they have used their training in anthropology to conduct research. These anthropologists all demonstrate the endless potential of the discipline and identify important questions to understanding culture. Cultural Anthropologists focus on the way beliefs, practices, and symbols bind groups of people together and shape their worldview and lifeways.
