Biological anthropology is the branch of anthropology that studies the
biology and behavior of humans. It also studies non-human primates and
extinct hominin ancestors of humans. The primary branches of biological
anthropology are paleoanthropology, primatology, human behavioral
ecology, human biology, paleopathology and bioarchaeology. All of these
branches study the morphology and behavior of humans from an
evolutionary perspective. This book is a valuable compilation of topics,
ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in
the field of biological anthropology. Some of the diverse topics covered
in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category.
