A scientist who studies human societies, cultures, behavior, and physical characteristics.
From Greek 'anthropos' (human) and 'logos' (study or science). The discipline emerged in the 19th century as Europeans sought to systematically understand human diversity and culture.
Anthropology is literally the 'study of humans' from the Greek, but it emerged precisely when Europeans were colonizing the world and categorizing people—so the field itself is deeply intertwined with the history of power and perspective that shaped it.
