Bachelor of Arts (General) in Anthropology

University of Manitoba

Anthropology engages in the study of humans, in all their complexity, both past and present, from both a cultural and biological point of view. It addresses some of the most challenging issues of our time, including conflict, environmental change, global health, human adaptation, human behaviour and social inequality. Anthropology students develop social research skills and have an increased knowledge and understanding of human cultural diversity. Many students find that anthropology broadens their thinking and gives them perspective on interpretations offered by other disciplines.Archaeology deals with the reconstruction of past ways of human life through the recovery and analysis of the material remains from past cultures.Archaeologists help us understand how people lived, survived, and interacted with each other in the past. They explore topics such as domestication and food systems, urbanization, and population interactions and economic systems in the past. Archaeologists often require additional special training in fields such as zoology, botany and history.
