Geographers
examine the patterns and processes of the human habitation of the earth,
emphasizing the importance of the relative location of places and events,
the character of regions, and the relations between culture and
environment.
With training
in both the natural and social sciences, geographers have a wide range of
careers in business, government, planning, and teaching. Private companies
need geographers for efficient site selection of stores and factories.
Geographers work for federal and state agencies, county and city planning
departments, and private planning firms.
The discipline
of anthropology adopts an integrative, comprehensive approach to the study
of humankind. Anthropologists seek to understand human conditions by
examining the biological evolution of human beings, the human capacity to
create culture, and the diverse ways of life developed by societies around
the world.
