An anthropologist is a person whose work is anthropology: the scientific study of people, their societies, and their cultures. The word names the person, not the subject. Some anthropologists stay with a living community and try to understand it from the inside; some study bones, bodies, and our past as a kind of animal; some look at language. You become one by training, usually at a university, and it is a formal job title. In news and documentaries the anthropologist is often the person who has “been there” and can say how a group of people actually lives, which is messier than a tidy textbook picture.
From the word’s history

An expert in anthropology.
- In actual fact, it is hard to see how anyone could defend the prescriptive approach. In any other field of enquiry, it would be seen as patently absurd. What would we say of the social anthropologist who, instead of describing the way a given society is, sets about prescribing the way he thinks it ought to be? (We'd probably suggest he ought to give up Anthropology and take up Politics!) [...]
- In traditional anthropology, somebody goes to another country, says: “How fascinating these people are! How interesting their tools and their culture are,” and then they write a paper, and maybe a few other anthropologists read it, and we think these cultures are very exotic.
