Anthropology People, their biological and cultural origins, their genetics, and their traditions, their beliefs, customs, languages, social relationships, and value systems, form the subject matter of anthropology. By studying people in all their biological and cultural variety, anthropologist explore the limits of human diversity. Anthropological training is especially useful in any work with business, education, independent foundations, social agencies or government agencies that involves international or cross cultural relations. Because students of anthropology study many areas, such as paleontology, human genetics, primatology, growth, adaptation, ethnology, and linguistics, they develop skills of use in numerous career fields. The study of anthropology combines knowledge in the arts, sciences, mathematics, social relations, and literature so that students emerge with an in-depth understanding of societies which can be applied to a wide range of career opportunities.
Many occupations require graduate study.
