Is being an Anthropologist just a fancy name to give license to people who rob and desecrate graves?

Question

Sorry folks I did mean Archaeologist

Answer 1

That's ridiculous. Not all anthropologist are archaeologists.  Many study living people, living cultures, primates.  When has Jane Goodall ever robbed a grave?

Even if the question was archaeologists I'd still say no. They are highly trained people that respect and revere both the artifacts and the people that left them behind. (Most of the time!)
