Anthropology has taken an approach much referred to as a multiple model approach. In order to study the wide scope of the field of Physical anthropology, Physical Anthropologist must examine the physical and biological process of humans. Physical Anthropology has, as stated above, a wide scope withing this field. Because of the context and complexity of human behavior and culture it is a must to have to many sub-fields. In recent studies, molecular anthropology has become a vital component of biological anthropology thus aiding in the concentration on human evolution, growth and development, and human adaptation.
Additional fields include forensic anthropologist, which study the skeletal biology to assist in the identification and analysis of more recently deceased individuals. Primatologist study monkeys and apes, using this to better understand the features that make each group …show more content…
The Anthropologist observe and listen to people in different societies and discern patterns of behavior. Because of the numerous cultures and at the rate that cultures change, it is no always easy to distinguish between patterned and un-patterned behavior. Just as individual people develop habits, so individual families as well as institutions which become distinctly their own.
