Best Answer

Anthropology is the study of human culture but understanding culture as all of the non-biological behaviors that humans have, in simple words, all of our behaviors are divided into two, biological (these are the ones that all humans have) and cultural (this are the ones that are different between two humans) and anthropology studies this last kind of behaviors.

An anthropologist usually lives or stays with the human group that he wants to study to learn about their culture. He does a participation in all of the groups activities to understand them.
