Anthropologists study the cultures of groups of people, that is, the way they live together. Paleoanthropologists investigate the cultures of people who lived in the distant past such as the Neanderthals. They look at things like tools, weapons, artworks and skeletons to get clues. They do this to get better understandings of ourselves and our origins as well as knowledge about how things were in the past.
