Explore the Human Story in Anthropology

Montana Mitchell, staff writer

 Ever had an interest in figuring out who you are and where you came from? If so, this Spring semester’s SOC 210, Survey of Physical and Cultural Anthropology may interest you.

SOC 210, a Social Sciences elective, will be taught online by Brian Robbins, an adjunct assistant professor of Sociology, who has been teaching forms of Anthropology since 2009.

Anthropology is more than a trendy fashion brand.

“Anthropology is the study of humans in all times and places. This means that no matter your background, you’re part of that great epic story called humanity. This is the story of you and how you came to be where and when you are. Anthropology is a class that applies to everyone,” said Robbins.

Choosing your schedule for the Spring semester can be challenging, but with SOC 210, you are learning more than typical information needed to pass the class. You are learning information about humanity itself.

“Anthropology is the story of every human that ever lived. It begins in the past and will end sometime in the future. Every aspect of life experienced. Every human is potential material for an anthropologist to study. So, ultimately, anthropology is the study of humans and it doesn’t matter where you come from, what language you speak, or what you believe. This is your story. Let’s see how your chapter fits into the ongoing epic that is humanity,” said Robbins.
