Anthropologist

Anthropologists are people who study people! They look closely at how different cultures throughout the world live, the languages they use, the customs they practice and the beliefs they have. They also study how and why people change, adapt and evolve over time. Anthropologists may do research by visiting other countries and cultures, interviewing people, reading books, or studying artifacts. By understanding how people interact and how cultures develop, anthropologists can help to solve problems and make the world a better place for everyone.
