Anthropology explores humanity's essence and how people construct meaning. Researchers examine individuals through multiple lenses: their origins, creative expressions, and life interpretations. Core inquiries focus on biological development and adaptation, archaeological traces of ancient lifestyles, comparisons between historical and modern societies, plus the moral complexities of cultural research. This multifaceted field equips learners to thrive in our diverse, globally connected society.
The Archaeology and Biological Anthropology Labs support education and investigation in these anthropological branches. These facilities include specialized areas for examining Native-colonial interactions, geographic information systems, animal remains analysis, ancient DNA research, and primate studies. The labs house artifacts from Monterey Bay's archaeological sites alongside comparative bone collections and specimens demonstrating decomposition processes.
