Answer: anthropologist

Explanation: Anthropologists study the social science field where biology meets the past and present lives of human beings. This ranges from evolution to society and culture. Specific areas of interest may include the reason for overpopulation and why a disease is spreading.

An anthropologist may go through a refuse heap to study what kind of things people use in their daily lives, what and how much of these they dispose to understand culture and society.
