- Anthropology is the holistic study of human biology and culture. It finds answers to where and why humans appeared on earth and how and why they’ve changed since then.

- As an archaeologist, I use data from sites and remains to rebuild the daily lives of people from the past. I collect the data I need to understand why and how life has changed. I also use techniques and and finding from other disciplines to help me along the way.
- As an anthropological linguist I study languages that haven’t been written in a long time. My job consists of creating a dictionary and grammar, then study the structure and history behind the language. I analyze the changes the language undergoes over time and compare them to contemporary languages.
- As an ethnographer, I live with, form communications with and talk to people from different regions for 1-2 years at a time. I investigate written documents, missionary accounts, reports by traders/explorers and more to identify cultural changes. I usually experience their customs and traditions first hand while I live with them and keep an ethnography or written report on that culture. I also try to find explanations and relationships that hold across different cultures as well.
- As a biological anthropologist, I must always ask myself two questions: how did humans emerge and evolve? And why do current human populations vary biologically? I usually study fossils, Human genetics, molecular biology, population biology, and epidemiology to find answers to these. I will also occasionally study related mammals such as primates and compare their behavior and evolution to ours. This research gives me insight to figure out how we got to be the way we are today.
