Introduction
The Bachelor of Science in Anthropology is a concentration in biological anthropology. It is designed to cultivate one of the particular strengths of Emory's Anthropology department. While the degree requires training in general Anthropology, it has a clear emphasis on the area of human biology.
Emory's Anthropology department specializes in Biological Anthropology and Cultural Anthropology. This two field approach reflects the common intellectual interest of the department to promote the interaction between biology and culture. This major is designed, in part, to establish an alternative pre-medical curriculum. The Anthropology department believes that future physicians will benefit from exposure to (at least) three perspectives in anthropology:
A biological perspective emphasizes the importance of our evolutionary heritage in shaping behaviour, the developmental process, and social relations.
A social scientific perspective provides a methodology for understanding the complex interactions between human behaviour and biology.
A humanistic perspective emphasizes the cultural coherence of human values, beliefs and symbols and their importance for particular social groups.
