Oh wait when you say Christian, do you have specific sect in mind? Because there is a lot of horseshit anthropology that is done by fundamentalist Jews and Christians, where they’re pushing an agenda.
If you have difficulty reconciling your personal Christian convictions with any anthropological evidence, then you might want to reconsider your career choice (if you want to become a Biblical archaeologist/cultural or linguistic anthropologist, you might not have that problem).
With that said, there are plenty of Christian anthropologists who work well as social scientists and leave their religiously inspired convictions at the front door. For instance, if you were to study human evolution, you have to rely on material remains and evidence, not faith claims about human origins.
the glaring difference in maximum circumstances is that persons who have been atheists yet became Christians is they have been purely implicitly atheists – that they had no specific opinion on the undertaking of theism and as such did no longer have faith in gods. exhibit atheism or theism, on the different hand, is a end that a individual includes in mild of theistic textile. i’m no longer announcing that exhibit atheists by no potential replace into exhibit theists although. circumstances replace continuously and a individual’s individual journey, to boot as psychological stability are the two aspects to evaluate. for example, from what i’ve got study, women persons are extra probably to teach to theism because of the opportunity of divine protection for their infants, and older women and adult adult males persons alike are extra vulnerable to senile delusions. while somebody claims that they was an atheist, yet at the instant are a theist, you need to evaluate their previous implicit/exhibit place, their very own circumstances, and their age. Lee Strobel, for example, claims that he did no longer have any specific place on the life of deities earlier he met his spouse. this implies that he replace into an implicit atheist and the declare that he used to think of like exhibit atheists is misguided.
Of course you can, unless you adhere to a fundamentalist interpretation of your creation scriptures, and are unable to accept a alternative scientific explanation, at least in parallel (it can be done, as I saw stated on here once, “in the mosque I believe in creation, on the street I accept evolution”). If it is the case that you hold a religious objection to scientific inquiry, you could come up to some internal conflict during studies if they involve human evolution and the evidence of.
Do you consider Catholic priests to be Christian? Look at this famous example of a legendary paleoanthropolgist:

And even the Catholic church formally accepts evolution as valid.
