Culture, Illness, and Disease:

the World of Medical Anthropology

                               Welcome, and thank you for visiting!                                

Medical Anthropology is a dynamic subfield of anthropology integrating cultural, social, biological, and evolutionary realms of knowledge.  It conceptualizes human health and illness in not only biological terms, but also integrates how cultural and social factors influence the presence or absence of disease.
