Physical anthropology

Physical anthropology, sometimes called "biological anthropology," studies
the mechanisms of biological evolution, genetic inheritance, human
adaptability and variation, primatology, and the fossil record of human
evolution. See also: Race.

Some of the early branches of physical anthropology, such as early
anthropometry, are now rejected as pseudoscience. Metrics such as the
cephalic index were used to derive behavioral characteristics.
