What makes us human? Is it language? Technology? Arts? Medicine?

Yes—all of those! Anthropology is the study of the development of human society. In Anthropology: The Science of Being Human, young anthropologists explore several kinds of anthropology, including biological anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology while examining significant items or events that show moments in time when the human race adapted to a changing world in a way that exemplifies the human experience. Pompeii, the Rosetta Stone, Olduvai Gorge, the Neanderthal genome, the internet—examined through the lens of anthropology, these things and events show how resilience and adaptability paved the way for new ways of understanding ourselves and our relationships.
