An anthropologist is a scientist who studies humans, their cultures, societies, and behaviors. They explore how people live, interact, and develop over time, often focusing on different groups around the world. Anthropologists may conduct fieldwork, interviews, and observations to gather data about various aspects of human life, including traditions, languages, and social structures. There are several branches of anthropology, including cultural anthropology, which examines cultural practices, and archaeology, which studies past human societies through artifacts. Anthropologists aim to understand the diversity of human experiences and how they shape our world today.
