Morphology
anthropogenetic = genetic (semi-transparent) = anthropo + genetic
The structure is anthropo- + genetic (prefixation), and while 'genetic' is a familiar base, the combining form 'anthropo-' is a specialized element that many B1 learners may not recognise, so the meaning is partly inferable but not fully obvious.
Etymology
The word anthropogenetic comes from Greek parts anthropo- ('human') and -genetic ('origin' or 'birth'), like in anthropology and genetic. So it describes the origins and development of human beings.
