Program Highlighted | Anthropology Introduction | Undergraduate Coordinator & Associate Chair, Professor Susan Pfeiffer Anthropology is concerned with the unity and diversity of humanity, and related primates, studying humans from a comparative and global perspective. Aspects of anthropology have been taught at the University of Toronto for nearly 150 years. Anthropology students at the University of Toronto can study human biology and evolution, human behaviour as it first appears in the archeological record, language and society, anthropology of health, and the diversity of human culture in today's world. Hands-on experience in primate and human anatomy, ethnographic analysis and archaeological field work are often seen as highlights of the program. Courses in Anthropology can be effectively combined with courses in many other disciplines. Anthropology offers a unique grounding for interests and studies in other Social Sciences, the Life Sciences, Health Sciences, Humanities, and Division of the Environment. The Undergraduate Program provides excellent preparation for business, teaching or public service careers in which international and human diversity issues are important. Anthropology is concerned with human biological, social, and cultural development. This very broad interest has led to the division of the discipline into four distinctive areas of research. Archaeology studies the surviving evidence, or material culture, of people's activities. From the excavation and distribution of artifacts and other cultural residues, archaeologists draw conclusions about the organization of social groups, their adaptations to environments, and their spatial and temporal relations. Its research topics include the peopling of the New World, and the development of food production and political hierarchies.
