Biological Anthropology is a branch of anthropology that focuses on the biological and physical aspects of humans and their relatives. It studies how humans have evolved over time, examining our genetic makeup, physical traits, and the ways we adapt to different environments. This field often looks at our closest relatives, such as chimpanzees and gorillas, to understand the evolutionary processes that shaped us. Researchers in Biological Anthropology also explore human variation, health, and disease. They investigate how factors like nutrition, climate, and culture influence our biology. By studying fossils and modern populations, they gain insights into our past and how we continue to evolve today.
