Though anthropology does look at stones and bones, it also examines the politics, medicine, kinship, art, and religion of various peoples and times. This makes the study of anthropology a complex task, for it requires an understanding of the basics from numerous disciplines such as geology, biology, art, and psychology. It is only through this detailed study of all people that we gain the full picture of what it really is to be human.
Anthropology tries to bring the world's peoples into human focus.
Anthropologists don't come up with a theory and see if people live up to it. They go and live with people and see what they do. While graduates of anthropology traditionally have found careers in museums, or teaching at the high school or college level, other possible career opportunities are emerging today. Because of a growing emphasis on third world countries, international trade, and the changing international climate, companies are interested in employees who have knowledge about foreign countries and cultures. Graduates of anthropological studies are also in demand for projects of historical preservation, or as industrial anthropologists to study a company's structure and its people.
