ANTHROPOLOGY AT M A C O M B Combine Curiosity and Attention to Detail With a Taste for Adventure! Anthropologists and archaeologists are explorers of human culture. Their work is closely connected. Both careers focus on the way people live together. Anthropologists study the origin of humans and their physical, cultural and social development. They are concerned with how the past relates to the present. They also conduct research by going to locations to ask questions and make observations. creating a picture of a society Anthropology is the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities. —Alfred L. Kroeber I used to say to my (anthropology) classes that the ways to get insight are to study infants, to study animals, to study primitive people … or to have a love affair with an old Russian. And I stopped saying that when a little dancer in the front row put up her hand and said, “Does he have to be old?” —Margaret Mead We often think of anthropology in terms of the past, unearthing the secrets of ancient civilizations. But these scientists also examine living societies, in faraway Amazon jungles or in a neighborhood next door. They might study gender differences, physical attributes, music or religion. Their field is the wide array of human social experience.
