Physical Anthro- pology and its companion course, Cul- tural Anthropology, show students how man evolved both physically and cultur- ally, with the help of many field trips and a simulated archeological dig.

This class gives fresh- men a survey of the Social Studies De- partment. In this way students can learn which, if any, of the more advanced classes they might want to take.
