anthropologists
Human society researchers
Anthropologists are scholars who study human societies, cultures, and development.
They examine how people live, what they believe, and how communities organize themselves—from ancient civilizations to contemporary urban neighborhoods.
Some focus on physical evolution, others on language or cultural practices.
The anthropologists spent two years living with the tribe.
