Anthropology
Anthropology
Anthropology is the study of people and their cultures, both in the past and present, and consists of three subfields: biological anthropology, archaeology, and cultural anthropology. Biological anthropologists discover when and why humans appeared on earth, analyze how they have changed biologically over time, and apply their research methods to forensic analyses. Archaeologists excavate the remains of past societies to discover how people lived in the past and work to conserve artifacts and display them in museum settings. Cultural anthropologists use participant observation to immerse themselves in other cultures to understand why people think and behave differently.
