Biological (or Physical) Anthropology Biological anthropologists seek to understand how humans adapt to diverse environments, how biological and cultural processes work together to shape growth, development and behavior, and what causes disease and early death. In addition, they are interested in human biological origins. evolution and variation. They give primary attention to investigating questions having to do with evolutionary theory, our place in nature. adaptation and human biological variation. To understand these processes, biological anthropologists study other primates(primatology) the he fossil record(paleoanthropology ), prehistoric people(bioarchaeology), and the biology(e.g health, cognition, hormones, growth and development)and genetics of living populationsBiological (or Physical) Anthropology  Biological anthropologists seek to understand how humans adapt to diverse environments, how biological and cultural processes work together to shape growth, development and behavior, and what causes disease and early death.
