	Physical anthropology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physical anthropology, or biological anthropology, studies the mechanisms of biological evolution, genetic inheritance, human adaptability and variation, primatology, primate morphology, and the fossil record of human evolution.
		Physical anthropology developed in the 19th century, prior to the rise of Charles Darwin's theory 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).

		Anthropologists also commonly construct genealogies (diagrams of kinship relations) and maps to show how the people in communities are related to one another, how people organize themselves in groups, and how people and groups interact with each other.
		Physical anthropologists often rely on rigorous medical scientific methods for at least part of their research, in addition to more general observational methods.
		Physical anthropologists studying human genetics use sophisticated laboratory techniques to analyze human chromosomes and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the structures through which people inherit traits from their parents.

	Attitudes of Physical Anthropologists toward Reports of Bigfoot and Nessie
		Of the 100 physical anthropologists surveyed, 71 responded, but only 69 returned usable questionnaires; 39 of these were on Bigfoot, and 30 were on Nessie.
		A third of the respondents had read physical anthropologist John Napier's (1973) book on the subject, and another 46% professed to be aware of the book, although it was not widely disseminated or reviewed in anthropological circles.
		Because of the lack of physical evidence, a large majority believe that Bigfoot reports are a result of imagination, hoaxes, or misidentifications, although they seem to bend over backward to support scientific investigation of the topic, provided federal funds are not involved.

	Anthropology
		Physical anthropology is generally classified as a natural science, while cultural anthropology is considered a social science.
		Modern physical anthropology began taking shape in the first half of the 19th century when there arose a great interest in studying the origins of mankind, the biological relationships between the races, and the changeability of man as an animal species.
		A major shift in the approach to physical anthropology occurred at the beginning of the 20th century with the discovery of genetic principles and of the ABO blood groups.

	History Uncovered: Skeletal Remains as a Vehicle to the Past
		A forensic anthropologist is a physical anthropologist who has been trained to recognize and examine human skeletal remains for indications of sex, age, height, unique characters of the individual, features which might indicate how the person died, and processes that affect the skeleton after death.
		In many investigations, the anthropologists services begin and end (if no human bones are found) at this step when he or she is called to a locality or medical examiner's office and asked to make a determination.
		Forensic anthropologists understand that the sex differences in the human pelvis are related to differences in function and are trained to recognize the physical differences associated with function.

		Archaeologists and biological anthropologists who work in laboratories are not strictly speaking participant observers, yet their training in general anthropology and holistic perspective permits them to use cross-cultural comparisons to understand the material they study.
		Anthropologists' training for understanding different cultures and their technique of participant observation are often critical in developing and testing programs assisting many segments of our society.
		Anthropologists were among the first to work with the elderly, sharing the days in nursing homes and retirement communities to identify ways to make those days more pleasant, less frustrating.

	Non-Academic Careers
		Above all, the physical anthropologist must be thoroughly grounded in the physical and life sciences early in his/her training.
		Physical anthropologists, with their perspective on humans in the natural world, human biology, and hominid evolution, can be very effective museum education officers and coordinators.
		Physical anthropologists interested in non-academic careers in the field of epidemiology should have certain qualifications as a result of their graduate training.

	ANTHROPOLOGY
		Physical or biological anthropology is the study of humans as biological organisms.
		While cultural anthropologists might be interested in the marriage system of a particular society, s/he must examine how all other parts of the society (economic, political, religious, etc.) affect it and are affected by it.
		Linguistic anthropologists include those who are interested in the evolution of language, analyze language in non-literate societies, study non-verbal communication, examine similarities among languages to determine past relationships between human groups, and also those who are interested in the relationship between language and culture.

		Anthropologists and archaeologists will experience average growth, but slower-than-average employment growth is expected for geographers, historians, political scientists, and sociologists because they enjoy fewer opportunities outside of government and academic settings.
		Anthropologists study the origin and the physical, social, and cultural development and behavior of humans.
		Physical anthropologists examine human remains found at archaeological sites in order to understand population demographics and factors that affected these populations, such as nutrition and disease.

	NOVA Online \| Mystery of the First Americans \| A proponent's perspective
		I happen to be one of those very few forensic physical anthropologists who actually does research on the particular traits used today in forensic racial identification (i.e., "assessing ancestry," as it is generally termed today).
		I have a respected colleague, the skeletal biologist C. Loring Brace, who is as skilled as any of the leading forensic anthropologists at assessing ancestry from bones, yet he does not subscribe to the concept of race.
		Anthropologists of the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s, on the other hand, believed that they were combating racism by openly discussing race and by teaching courses on human races and racism.

		The physical remains are curated on the outside, and the knowledge gained through the study of these remains is generally disseminated outside Native American nations.
		The end result may be that, after archaeologists and physical anthropologists demonstrate respect for and develop research programs in collaboration with Native Americans, feelings of distrust, alienation and powerlessness may be relieved, and currently forbidden areas of research may be reopened.
		Native Americans probably don't care to claim forged materials, and archaeologists and physical anthropologists wouldn't want to invest their energies and resources in a dispute over repatriation when the materials are not authentic.

	Guide to the Collections of the National Anthropological Archives (§A2)
		The impetus for founding the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AAPA) came from Aleš Hrdlicka, who was interested in promoting physical anthropology as a distinct academic discipline and securing support for his American Journal of Physical Anthropology.
		In 1953, both honorary and inactive memberships were eliminated, and membership was limited to professional physical anthropologists or others who demonstrated a professional interest in physical anthropology.
		In 1953, the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, established with the sponsorship of the Wenner-Gren Foundation in 1945, became an AAPA publication.

	What is Forensic Anthropology?
		Anthropology alone is the study of man. Anthropologists are interested in culture (cultural anthropologists), language (linguistic anthropologists), the physical remains or artifacts left behind by human occupation (archaeologists), and human remains or bones and teeth (physical anthropologists).
		In many cases after identity of an individual is made, the forensic anthropologist is called to testify in court regarding the identity of the remains and/or the trauma or wounds present on the remains.
		Through their analyses the forensic anthropologist is able to identify multiple types of traumatic injury, potentially an important factor in the trial.

		The American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AAPA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the “Draft Principles of Agreement Regarding the Disposition of Culturally Unidentifiable Human Remains.” The AAPA is the leading professional organization for physical anthropologists in the United States.
		We currently have more than 1700 members with research interests in all areas of human biology, including the study of human skeletal remains spanning the entire history of humankind in all areas of the world.
		We strongly believe that such consultation should involve all groups and individuals with a potential relationship to a set of human remains in a meaningful way, not just those groups and individuals that have the financial and political resources to assert their views in the legal arena.

	Antropology Summary
		In the United States, anthropologists generally specialize in one of four-sub fields’ cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, archaeology, and physical anthropology.
		Anthropologists always give coppies of their books or articles to the people they study.
		This, too, is changing, as increasing numbers of people from diverse cultural backgrounds are working in anthropology and cultural studies.
