Do you imply a specific individual or group when you say someone?
Not specific, when you say "someone" that means you imply a person you don't know whom, to be exact.

- Someone stole my money.
- Someone ate the cookies.

Logically, "Anyone, Everyone and Someone" are closely related to each other. And the word "No one" is the negative form.

"Anyone" logically means that one person is chosen without any thought.

Example:
"Did anyone check the room?"
"Yes, someone checked yesterday, but no one did today because everyone was too busy."

I hope this helps.
