Anthropologists study the origin, development and functioning of human
societies and cultures, as they exist now or have existed throughout history.

and variations of the human species and other primates(past and present), and
with the interactions between biology, ecology and culture over the life spans
of individuals. Some biological anthropologists study the bones of people who
lived in the distant past, working closely with archaeologists.
Applied Anthropologist
An applied anthropologist may work in areas such as social policy and
planning, social impact assessment, conservation, advocacy, community
development, women and development, cultural resource management, land claims
and social justice.
