Anthropologists and archeologists study the origin, development, and behavior of humans.

Anthropologists and archeologists look at the languages, cultures, and archeological remains of people from various parts of the world.

Anthropologists typically specialize in one of three fields:

• Biological or physical anthropology
• Cultural or social anthropology
• Linguistic anthropology

Biological anthropologists study how the biology of humans an other primates changes. Cultural anthropologists study the impacts of human-related issues such as war, poverty, and natural distasters. Linguistic anthropologists study the history and development of lanugages.

Archeologists examine, recover, and preserve artifacts such as tools, pottery, and ruins of buildings. They try to learn about the history, customs, and lifestyles of ancient cultures. Archeologists often specialize in a particular geographic area or period in time.
