"Biological anthropology, also known as physical anthropology, is a scientific discipline concerned with the biological and behavioral aspects of human beings, their extinct hominin ancestors, and related non-human primates, particularly from an evolutionary perspective."
The study of the human biological and physical characteristics, including human evolution, growth and development, genetics, and forensic anthropology.
Evolution: Study of changes in living organisms over time.
Human variation: Study of the differences and similarities between human populations.
Primatology: Study of non-human primates as models for understanding human evolution and behavior.
Paleoanthropology: Study of human evolution through fossil evidence.
Osteology: Study of bones, including identification and analysis of skeletal remains.
Forensic anthropology: Application of biological anthropology to legal investigations.
Human behavior: Study of human culture, language, and social organization.
Population genetics: Study of genetic variation within and between populations.
Bioarchaeology: Study of human skeletal remains in archaeological contexts.
Biological adaptation: Study of how organisms adapt to their environment.
Comparative anatomy: Study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species.
Primate communication: Study of primate vocalizations, gestures, and other forms of communication.
Human evolution: Study of the evolution of the human species.
Diet and nutrition: Study of the relationship between diet and health.
Biological rhythms: Study of natural cycles in living organisms.
Sexual selection: Study of how sexual preferences and competition shape reproductive behavior.
