ANTH 210 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Molecular Anthropology, Osteology, Paleopathology
Document Summary
The interdisciplinary approach to the study of earlier hominins, their chronology, physical structure, archaeological remains, habitants etc: human variation. This approach works to measure, describe and explain visible differences between various human populations. Also, comparison between non-humans, especially primates: molecular anthropology. Molecular anthropology uses cutting- edge techniques to investigate evolutionary relationships between human populations and between humans and nonhuman primate: osteology and bioarcheology. The interpretation of skeletal remains from archaeological sites, skeletal anatomy, bone physiology, and growth and development. Bioarcheology- is the study of skeletal remains and archaeological contexts: 45wh1- cherry point in whatcom county ancient human burial ground, paleopathology. The branch of osteology that studies the evidence of disease and injury in human skeletal remains from archaeological sites: forensic anthropology. Applied anthropological approach focused on the application of osteology and archaeology to legal matters: primatology. The study of the biology and behavior of nonhuman primates (lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys and apes: applied anthropology.
