Anthropologists study the diversity and richness of humanity. We study how and why people and their cultures are similar and different around the world and over time. We study people face-to-face in the contemporary world in diverse local settings, as well as past groups through fossils and archaeological sites. We study complex relationships between human biology and culture. We commonly emphasize issues of social justice and equity when considering differences. We examine the evolutionary and historical formation of human societies and the ways in which they change as people, things, and ideas move and intermingle. In today's world, we ask how the local is shaped by regional, national, and global processes. Every career requires a rich understanding of cultures and diversity in the context of our rapidly changing, interconnected human experience. There is no limit to where you can go with that kind of understanding of our world and its people.
