World Anthropology Day is observed worldwide every third Thursday of February. Established in 2015 by the American Anthropological Association (AAA), the day aims to celebrate the discipline of anthropology, which encompasses the scientific study of humanity, including human biology, behavior, cultures, and societies. Initially named National Anthropology Day, it became an international observance the following year, reflecting the global significance of anthropology. On this day, various anthropological organizations, schools, universities, and museums organize events such as public lectures, seminars, workshops, and discussions to educate the public about anthropology and its relevance. Participants can engage by attending local or virtual events, reading about anthropology, or celebrating anthropologists they know. The holiday encourages sharing experiences on social media using hashtags like #WorldAnthropologyDay and #AnthroDay.
