Gerontology and Anthropology. A comparative theoretical review

Abstract

Gerontology studies human aging, while Anthropology studies the transit of human beings through the world, so that making a comparison between these sciences is what motivated the authors to carry out this essay, the common element being the human being. The documentary review was used as a method, making reflections and comparisons permanently to show the relationship that they may have in order to approach the realization of a science known as geroanthropology, which invites the theoretical conjunction for the understanding of the human being in its aging and his travel through the world.
