Anthropologists can help us learn about the distant past in a variety of ways. For example, by conducting studies of isolated tribes who still live like our ancestors did in many ways.

How do anthropologist help us learn about the distant past?

Anthropologists can help us learn about the civilizations of the distant past by researching and observing patterns of behavior in the civilizations. However, anthropologists study the social aspect of history and the social development of people, society and civilizations. A person more suited to help us learn about the distant past would be an archaeologist. Archaeologists study remaining artifacts and draw conclusions of the time period and events that took place during that time period while anthropologists study the social development of that time period. I know this because I have taken an anthropology course. (Fascinating subject by the way!)
