Conclusion
Which of the following are broad research interests of biological physical anthropologists?Physical anthropologists work broadly on three major sets of problems: human and nonhuman primate evolution, human variation and its significance (see also race), and the biological bases of human behaviour.
What are anthropologists mainly interested in?Anthropology is the study of what makes us human. Anthropologists take a broad approach to understanding the many different aspects of the human experience, which we call holism. They consider the past, through archaeology, to see how human groups lived hundreds or thousands of years ago and what was important to them.
What are the broad fields of anthropology?Anthropology includes four broad fields--cultural anthropology, linguistics, physical anthropology and archaeology. Anthropologists are careful observers of humans and their behavior, maintaining an intense curiosity: What does it mean to be human? Why do people behave in particular ways?
What is the interest of anthropology?The focus of Anthropology is on understanding both our shared humanity and diversity, and engaging with diverse ways of being in the world. Anthropology is divided into three subfields: sociocultural, biological, and archaeology.
