Course Description
Cambridge was the first UK university to teach archaeology. Biological anthropology explores human variation in terms of biological principles and methods. It explores the place of humans in nature, the pattern of our evolution as a species, and the ways in which individuals and populations interact with their environment today. It covers topics ranging from archaeology to medicine, and ecology to genetics. Social anthropology uses studies based on first-hand fieldwork in local communities to understand the diversity of human societies in the world today: from the lives of indigenous peoples - their cultures and their relation to nation states and the global economy - to the social and cultural life of people in the largest cities on the planet. Cambridge is unusual in combining the three constituent disciplines during the first year (Part I of the Tripos). This provides you with a comprehensive introduction and overview of the three subjects and related techniques, and forms the bedrock of your later specialisation. In the second year (Part IIA), you choose which discipline you want to specialise in (although in each case you may take some papers from the other subjects, and also from outside the Faculty). This provides a detailed foundation in your chosen subject; while the third year (Part IIB) provides specialist options and courses linked to areas of current research.
