Biological anthropology , or physical anthropology is a branch of anthropology that studies the mechanisms of biological evolution genetic inheritance, human adaptability and variation, primatology primate morphology , and the fossil record of human evolution . See also: Race Physical anthropology developed in the 19th century , prior to the rise of Alfred Russel Wallace 's and Charles Darwin 's theories of natural selection and Gregor Mendel 's work on genetics . Physical anthropology was so called because all of its data was physical (fossils, especially human bones). With the rise of Darwinian theory and the modern synthesis , anthropologists had access to new forms of data, and many began to call themselves "biological anthropologists." citation needed Some of the early branches of physical anthropology, such as early anthropometry , are now rejected as pseudoscience . Metrics such as the cephalic index were used to derive behavioral characteristics. Two of the earliest founders of scientific physical anthropology were

   Extractions: Physical anthropology is a biological science that deals with the adaptations, variability, and evolution of human beings and their living and fossil relatives. Because it studies human biology in the context of human culture and behavior, physical anthropology is also a social science. The AAPA is the world's leading professional organization for physical anthropologists. Formed by 83 charter members in 1930, the AAPA now has an international membership of over 1,700. The Association's annual meetings draw more than a thousand scientists and students from all over the world.

Caveat emptor! [NB: This was written mainly for pre/non-college students and is pretty basic.] What Is Anthropology? Anthropology is a scientific field of study with several divisions. One division, cultural anthropology , focuses on an understanding of the way that people live in different societies or cultures around the world. Cultural anthropologists often conduct studies of peoples whose customs are quite different from our own and they attempt to explain the reasons for these complex patterns of social behavior. Another division, archaeology , is concerned with understanding societies that existed in the past. Archaeologists excavate or survey the remains of societies that existed many thousands of years ago or the remains of societies from recent times. A third division, linguistic anthropology, studies the nature of human languages. The division of anthropology called biological anthropology is very different from the others; it deals with both the social behavior and the biology of peopleit is a biosocial science. These studies can be carried out on the skeletal remains of people from the past or on the biological characteristics of living people. Biological anthropologists are interested in human evolution, from our origins and diversity in the past to our probable future as inhabitants of this planet.

    Extractions: definition links bibliography Forensic Anthropology is the application of the science of physical anthropology to the legal process. The identification of skeletal, badly decomposed, or otherwise unidentified human remains is important for both legal and humanitarian reasons. Forensic anthropologists apply standard scientific techniques developed in physical anthropology to identify human remains, and to assist in the detection of crime. Forensic anthropologists frequently work in conjunction with forensic pathologists, odontologists, and homicide investigators to identify a decedent, the manner of death, and/or the postmortem interval. In addition to assisting in locating and recovering suspicious remains, forensic anthropologists work to suggest the age, sex, ancestry, stature, and unique features of a decedent from the skeleton.

    Extractions: The program in physical anthropology focuses on the complex interactions of human biology and culture, particularly the effects of human actions on skeletal anatomy both during life and after death. Graduates in physical anthropology have built careers in academia, in public and private sector organizations concerning health-related public policy, and also law enforcement at the local, state, and federal levels. Faculty and students in physical anthropology are actively engaged in research and teaching concerning a variety of issues in human biology, including: The Physiology of Human Bone Dietary Change in Prehistoric and Historic Populations The Effects of Disease, Nutrition, and Trauma

UT Anthro Mission Statement: The basic aims and goals of the Forensic Anthropology Center are summed up in the following definition of forensic anthropology, as defined by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology: Forensic Center Overview: The program began with the arrival of Dr. William M. Bass in 1971 to The University of Tennessee Knoxville. He oversaw the development of the discipline at UTK, which culminated with the creation of the Forensic Anthropology Center within the Department of Anthropology, and many resources for students, researchers, and law enforcement agencies. Human identification services have now been provided through the State Medical Examiner System for the District Attorney General's Office, arson investigators, and various state, local, and national law enforcement agencies and county medical examiners for almost thirty years. Admission Information for Prospective Students: The University of Tennessee Knoxville offers three main areas of concentration within anthropology: Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, and Cultural Anthropology. Forensic Anthropology is offered as a specialization within Biological Anthropology. In accordance with the aims and goals of forensic anthropology, the focus of our program is the application of skeletal biological techniques to the identification of decomposing and skeletal remains for law enforcement and medicolegal agencies and investigations.
