Anthropology is concerned with all cultures in the world, both past and present, with primary emphasis on non-western cultures. Questions are posed regarding how humans adapt biologically and culturally through time and how that impacts people today. Anthropologists at CSUB do research on California Indians, prehistoric nutrition, women in sports, aging cross culturally, including studies in western and non-western cultures. Students who study Anthropology at CSUB gain insight and knowledge about past and present civilizations through lectures and extensive hands-on lab sessions and field surveys. Under the guidance of CSUB's faculty, opportunities in research, conference participation, and field archaeology enhance a student's preparation for more advanced training.
