Possible definitions for anthropoid
anthropology
Study of human beings, particularly their evolutionary history, biological variation, social relationships, and cultural history. Established as an academic discipline near the beginning of the 20th cent., anthropology as practiced in the U.S. consists of four major disciplines: physical anthropology, archaeology, cultural anthropology, and anthropological linguistics. In Europe the arrangement of the disciplines differs somewhat. Some specialists use the term ethnology to refer to comparative and historical anthropology.
arthropod
Any member of the largest phylum (Arthropoda) in the animal kingdom, consisting of more than a million known invertebrate species in four subphyla: Uniramia (five classes, incl. insects), Chelicerata (three classes, incl. arachnids and horseshoe crabs), Crustacea (crustaceans), and Trilobita (trilobites). All arthropods are bilaterally symmetrical and possess a segmented body covered by an exoskeleton containing chitin, which serves as both armor and a surface for muscle attachment; each body segment may bear a pair of jointed appendages. The phylum includes carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, detritus feeders, filter feeders, and parasites in nearly all environments, both aquatic and terrestrial.
