Biological anthropology (also called physical anthropology), is an interesting mixture of social studies and biological studies; several other ingredients make it even more fascinating. The two primary concept areas that tend to hold biological anthropology together are human evolution and human biosocial variation; there are many topics that can be studied within these two concept areas.

In order to grasp how humans evolved from earlier life forms, we can look at our closest relatives, the primates. studies by primatologists are particularly important now because many primates are endangered.

We can use the techniques of archaeology to uncover the skeletal remains of our ancestors from the distant past.

Evolution and biosocial variation are underlying themes in studies that deal with nutrition, child growth, health in societies, the genetics of human populations, and adaptation (adjustment) to the environment. For example, we try to understand how Eskimos have survived in the harsh cold of the Arctic using clever behavioral adaptations as well as biological adaptations

Answer 2

Forensics, Genetics, Evolution, Primate Studies...

Answer 3

What comes to my mind is a cross between Historians, Biologists and Genetisists. Historians generally try to tell you what society was like during a certain period of time. Biologists are interested in the biological relationship amongst species and how they relate and have evolved. Genetisists generally try to show the relationships amongst species by way of their genetic code. It is a very facinating field.

Answer 4

I think it is a step in the right direction for a social science that has been caught with it's ideological " pants down " too many times. It introduces scientific rigor to social science flabbiness. A thing social science could use.
