Anthropologists are experiencing a shift in the twenty-first century United States with the rise of Forensic anthropology. In the United States, as opposed to many other countries forensic anthropology falls under the domain of the anthropologist and not the Forensic pathologist.[1] In this role, forensic anthropologists help in the identification of skeletal remains by deducing biological characteristics such as sex, age, stature, and ancestry from the skeleton.[2]The field of forensic anthropology is rapidly evolving with increasingly capable technology.[3]
The profession of Anthropology has also taken a technical direction with the rise of Digital anthropology. This branch of the profession has an increased usage of computers as well as interdisciplinary work with medicine, computer visualization, industrial design, biology, and journalism.[4]Anthropologists in this field primarily study the evolution of human reciprocal relations with the computer-generated world.[5] Cyber anthropologists also study digital and cyber ethics along with the global implications of increasing connectivity.[6]

I plan on expanding the Anthropologist article with more detail. I will talk about new directions the field has taken in the twenty-first century and the impact of technology on the profession.
