Anthropology
Anthropology is the study of how humans have developed and adapted, both culturally and physically, to the demands of the world around them. Anthropologists examine the origins of the human species and the development of value systems and social relationships. Well-known anthropologists include Margaret Mead, famous for her work in the Samoan and New Guinea cultures, and Jane Goodall, who has made significant discoveries about primate societies. If you are interested in the biological evolution of humans, how people live in various cultural settings or how different societies have emerged, Anthropology would be a good choice of study.
At The University of Winnipeg, you can specialize in Cultural Anthropology, Archaeology or Physical Anthropology, or you may choose an integrated program that includes all three areas. Practical experience is also available through the Archaeological Field School offered every second year in the Spring Session.
