According to anthropological ethics, the first responsibility of the anthropologist is to the people studied.

a. True

b. False

The answer is true. The anthropologists have main ethical obligations to the people, species, and materials they research and to the people with whom they work. These duties can exchange the goal of seeking new knowledge, and can lead to decisions not to start or to stop a research project when the primary obligation conflicts with other responsibilities, such as those unsettled to sponsors or clients.
