What is the difference between paleontology, archaeology, and anthropology?

Category: Society & Culture

Answer:

Archaeologists largely study and analyze human artifacts or objects that have been created by humans. Anthropologists deal with human societies, languages, and behavior as well as their bones, tools, and artifacts they may have used. Paleontology focuses on all life, from bacteria to dinosaurs. The three disciplines, though different, can converge and work together on certain sites.
