Anthropology is the study of human beings. This includes human origins, behavior, and social and cultural development.

The UCSD Anthropology Club is an undergraduate (graduate students welcome) student organization encompassing all branches of anthropology, including sociocultural anthropology, archaeology, and biological (physical) anthropology.

We are an officially recognized club and we do have a core body of officers, but our meetings are casual and usually involve good food, good friends, and interesting discussions on pretty much any topic we choose. We encourage anyone interested to attend. We also highly recommend that you join our mailing list, especially if you can't always make it to meetings. This is a great way to keep track of what's happening with the club. Finally, the web page will have info posted for upcoming events, etc., so keep checking back for updates!

News / Upcoming Events

Hooray, fall quarter! –Updated 9-19-07

Well kids, summer is almost over, so it's time to go back to school and fill your brains with knowledge only to be forgotten after the final! The first meeting of the quarter will be Thursday, September 27 at 4:30, still on the patio at the Pub. Come by and bring a friend!

Dead Sea Scrolls! –Updated 5-1-07

Alright, we've gotten some more info on the Scrolls exhibit. We're going to try and get a group together to go on a weekday right after the exhibit opens. Here's the info on the prices:

'On a week day (Monday - Thursday) your rate will be $15 per person with a group of 10 or more. For a weekend day (Friday - Sunday and holidays) the rate will be $20 per person for a group of 10 or more. If you have people who want to join you that are not students, their rate would be $20 on a week day and $24 on a week end.'

I'm going to try and see if I can't get us in for free, but for now I'm still looking for names of those who want to go. If you're interested, please e-mail me at nogilvie@ucsd.edu. You don't have to be in the club to come, so invite friends!
