They study the way of life of people in all parts of the world and compare artifacts, language, and physical characteristics. Most anthropologists specialize in cultural anthropology, studying the customs, cultures, and social lives of groups in a wide range of settings, from nonindustrialized societies—s uch as the Amish—to modern urban cultures.
