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.
