Biological anthropology examines the physical dimensions of human existence, with particular attention to our evolutionary history and how social factors influence biological traits. The Anthropology Department provides a foundational course in biological anthropology (Human Evolution) along with specialized classes covering topics like skeletal analysis. The undergraduate Anthropology program includes essential education across anthropology's four main areas: socio-cultural studies, archaeology, language studies, and biological anthropology. Students may pursue a comprehensive anthropology education or specialize in specific disciplines, including the department's notable strengths in medical anthropology or Mayan archaeology. Numerous department courses welcome non-majors, and we actively invite students from across Brown University to participate in our academic offerings.
