Agreement with witty up there, and just to specify, physical anthropology is often called biological anthropology. I was required to study biology for my degree, and I studied extant primates in addition to fossil ones. I wasn't much for the study of human evolution; I analyzed the bones/fossils themselves. At my university, primatology was categorized under anthropology, and much of my time was spent studying non-human primates and their bones. My big final research project was on the skeletal components of brachiation (a method of locomotion; basically, the ability to suspend oneself with one's arms above one's head) in non-human primates and the possible evolutionary benefits thereof. That's my very favorite thing in the whole world. So yeah. Science! Post a comment in response: |
