biological anthropology
Biological anthropology is a subfield of anthropology that focuses on the biological and physical aspects of humans and their relatives. It studies human evolution, genetics, and the biological diversity of populations. Researchers in this field examine fossils, skeletal remains, and living populations to understand how humans have adapted to different environments over time.
This discipline also explores the relationship between biology and culture, investigating how social factors influence health and physical traits. Topics such as human evolution, primatology, and forensic anthropology are integral to biological anthropology, providing insights into the complexities of human life and our place in the natural world.
