Physical anthropology is a biological view of humans.  There is three broad areas of interest to physical anthropologists, evolution of humans, human variation, and primatology.

Paleoanthropology is the study of human evolution through the fossil records of humans.

Primatology is the study of nonhuman primates in their natural environments to better understand the human evolution.

Race is a subgroup of the human population whose members share a greater number of genes and physical traits with one another than they do with members of other subgroups.

Genetics is the study of inherited traits.

Population biology is the study of interrelationships between population characteristics and environments.

Epidemiology is the study of the occurrence, distribution, and control of disease in populations.
