Non-Academic Careers
NonAcademic Careers in physical anthropology. Text by the Career Development Committeeof the AAPA. Caveat emptor! NON-ACADEMIC CAREERS IN physical anthropology.
http://weber.ucsd.edu/~jmoore/bioanthro/brochure2.html

Extractions: Text by the Career Development Committee of the AAPA The links I have inserted are not necessarily definitive, nor endorsed by the American Association of Physical Anthropologists; they take you to sites that help illustrate the topic, that's all. Caveat emptor! The purpose of this brochure is to inform physical anthropology graduate students of career opportunities in non-academic settings. In a concern with the future professional careers of students completing their graduate educations in physical anthropology (particularly at the doctoral level), the American Association of Physical Anthropologists has established a standing committee devoted to career development. This brochure is one of the Committee's educational efforts to inform the student constituency of the Association as to the nature and diversity of professional careers in addition to those in anthropology departments in colleges and universities. There are many academic careers for appropriately trained physical anthropologists. In addition to the most traditional, that of faculty member of an anthropology department, they involve academic affiliations with community colleges and a number of different non-anthropology academic units within four year colleges and universities. These include medical schools; indeed, currently one in eight American physical anthropologists has some formal professional affiliation with a medical school, most frequently in departments of anatomy. Departments of genetics, zoology, and biological sciences are also logical academic units in which one might find physical anthropologists.
Multivariate Statistical Service
This multivariate statistical service offers analysis of data, from archaeology and physical anthropology.
http://www.archaeology.usyd.edu.au/resources/software/mvarch/mvarch.html

Extractions: Multivariate analysis reveals patterns within large and complex tables of data. It is widely used in archaeology. It reduces voluminous tables of description to summary graphs. Multivariate analysis also serves as a method of testing hypotheses about confusing tables of data. Dendrograms and principal components scattergrams are common methods of portrayal. MV-ARCH offers you a service for the multivariate analysis of your data - from archaeology and physical anthropology. "Why should I be interested?" "Shouldn't I do the job myself?" ... "How do I make the first move?" Total image analysis by MV-ARCH. Each image is described by 10,000 variables, namely the 100 x 100 pixels of the square within which the image is placed. Greater resolution is available. "Why should I be interested?"

Frequently Asked Questions Physical Anthropology at the University of Hawai'i Physical, or biological, anthropology is one of the four major subfields of anthropology that examines adaptations, variability, and evolution of humans and their relatives, living and extinct. Although a biological science, physical anthropology is also a social science because human biology and other aspects of the discipline are studied in the context of human culture and behavior. Two traditional major foci of interest within physical anthropology are human evolution (including human and primate paleontology and primatology) and human variation (including anthropological genetics, human adaptation, growth and nutrition). Allied fields include medical (nutritional) anthropology and human ecology. Forensic anthropology is a relatively new applied area within physical anthropology. The Department's current areas of expertise allow training in the fields of human evolution, bioarchaeology, human adaptability, medical anthropology, human ecology, and forensic anthropology at the undergraduate (BA) and graduate (MA and PhD) levels. Courses and seminars are offered in the theory of physical anthropology, human evolution, skeletal biology, forensic anthropology, human biology, primate behavior and ecology, and related areas within the Department. Courses which are relevant to physical anthropology are also given in other departments including zoology, geography, and in the Medical School (Genetics, Physiology, Anatomy) and School of Public Health.

I n 1912, Charles Dawson found skull fragments in association with the fossilized remains of large mammals such as mastodons in a site on Piltdown Common, England. The remains became known as Piltdown Man. In 1953, the Piltdown skull was declared a hoax. When the bones were subjected to fluorine analysis, they found that the cranium material contained less fluorine than did the bones of other extinct animals found with it, and that the mandible was that of a modern orangutan. The culprit who had masterminded the hoax had filed down the canine teeth, and had stained the bones to make them appear to be of the same age as known prehistoric animals. These diverse fragments were then secretly placed in the sites. Who perpetrated this dastardly deed? Over the years several persons have been named including Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, who lived near Piltdown Common and was a known antievolutionist.

Extractions: Dr. Kaye Reed serves as chair of the physical anthropology subdiscipline. General information about the program can be obtained by writing to her. Prospective graduate students should review the Applying to the Anthropology Graduate Program page. More detail about the physical anthropology program can be found in the booklet Graduate Studies in Physical Anthropology at Arizona State University Resources for the study of physical anthropology at ASU are particularly strong in seven areas in which members of the faculty are actively involved. These areas also are the focus of collaboration with other faculty members both within and outside the Anthropology department. Since these areas provide the most extensive opportunities for student course work, research, and interdisciplinary study, an introduction to each follows, providing information about facilities, research opportunities, and relevant courses. The interests of physical anthropology faculty are below and the faculty can assist student in identifying relevant faculty in other subdisciplines in anthropology (see brochure: Graduate Studies, Department of Anthropology, ASU) and in other academic units (e.g. Zoology, Exercise Science and Physiology, Chemical, Bio and Materials Engineering, Nursing, Psychology, Geology). The student's committee chair will assist in identifying other relevant committee members.

http://anthro.ucsc.edu/physical.shtml

Extractions: Because these studies take place within an understanding of the context of human behavior and culture, physical anthropology stands as a unique link between the social and biological sciences. At UCSC we focus on skeletal material but within the framework of a functioning organism, each with its own life story written in the bones. Primary research interests include paleoanthropology, primate anatomy and evolutionary theory ( Adrienne Zihlman ) and human skeletal biology and forensic anthropology ( Alison Galloway ). The program is supported by well-equipped anthropology laboratories For info about this page contact Anthro_Web@zzyx.UCSC.EDU

Extractions: The laboratories of Physical Anthropology and Archaeology are part of the Department of Anthropology , in the Division of Social Sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The facilities are located on the fourth floor of the Social Sciences 1 Building (shown at right) on the UCSC campus. The laboratories are dedicated to teaching and research in both physical (biological) anthropology and archaeology. Within the labs are spaces for the study of comparative anatomy, osteology, forensic anthropology, zooarchaeology, ceramics, lithics, and Monterey Bay archaeology . The laboratories maintain collections in comparative vertebrate osteology, primate osteology, taphonomic specimens, and regional archaeology. The laboratories are overseen by Professors Alison Galloway Diane Gifford-Gonzalez Judith Habicht-Mauche , and Adrienne Zihlman and managed by Richard Baldwin The Anthropology Laboratory complex includes the Archaeology Archives , a facility for curation of archaeological artifacts from the Monterey Bay. The Archives are managed by Professor Diane Gifford-Gonzalez, and Lab Manager Richard Baldwin. The labs provide a venue for a wide variety of courses including the only laboratory course in human anatomy at UC Santa Cruz. The teaching laboratories' mission is to provide students with hands-on training in the technical skills of physical anthropology and archaeology. These practical skills and experiences serve students well in the job market and in graduate research. Physical anthropology and archaeology courses are enhanced by a wide variety of teaching tools including fossil hominid casts, archaeological type collections and microscopes. Laboratory teaching also integrates multi-media techniques, augmented by audio/visual equipment acquired with a National Science Foundation (NSF) Department of Undergraduate Education grant awarded to the program.

Extractions: The origin of human beings has been a subject of fascination for millennia, and appears prominently in many systems of mythological and religious belief. But the systematic scientific study of human origins is comparatively recent. As studies in anatomy progressed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and as scientists began organizing species into genera and speculating on evolution , some turned their attention to humanity's relationship with other animals, especially the primates. The first systematic investigation of the anatomical differences between apes and humans came in 1699, when Edward Tyson, the most important founder of primatoogy, dissected both human beings and chimpanzees and pointed out their points of divergence in Orang-Outang, sive Homo sylvestris: or the anatomy of a pygmy compared to that of a monkey, an ape, and a man, to which is added a philological essay concerning the pygmies, the cynocephali, the satyrs, and sphinges of the ancients The work of describing, classifying, and distinguishing human beings and other primates was carried on in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by
