How is the work of genealogists and archaeologists similar?

Question

:)

Answer 1

the only things in common i can think of is that they are both to do with the past, both use computers, both use offices. without being too flippant that's about it

Answer 2

Because of the miracle of what  DNA can reveal, both fields have essentially become "Time-Travelers"...

Answer 3

Um. In my opinion, they're not, really.

Do you think they are?

Answer 4

they both track family traits with the use of documents, in some cases DNA. They also reconstruct the past.

Answer 5

Lots of digging through old, dirty things looking for the gems that give you a clue about the past!
