   Evolutionary anthropology

   Wikipedia

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_anthropology

   Evolutionary anthropology, the interdisciplinary study of the evolution of human physiology and human behaviour[1] and of the relation between hominids and non-hominid primates, builds on natural science and on social science. Various fields and disciplines of evolutionary anthropology include:

   • human evolution and anthropogeny
   • paleoanthropology and paleontology of both human and non-human primates
   • primatology and primate ethology
   • the sociocultural evolution of human behavior, including phylogenetic approaches to historical linguistics
   • the cultural anthropology and sociology of humans
   • the archaeological study of human technology and of its changes over time and space
   • human evolutionary genetics and changes in the human genome over time
   • the neuroscience, endocrinology, and neuroanthropology of human and primate cognition, culture, actions and abilities
   • human behavioural ecology and the interaction between humans and the environment
   • studies of human anatomy, physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and differences and changes between species, variation between human groups, and relationships to cultural factors

   Evolutionary anthropology studies both the biological and the cultural evolution of humans, past and present. Based on a scientific approach, it brings together fields such as archaeology, behavioral ecology, psychology, primatology, and genetics. As a dynamic and interdisciplinary field, it draws on many lines of evidence to understand the human experience, past and present.

   Studies of human biological evolution generally focus on the evolution of the human form. Cultural evolution involves the study of cultural change over time and space and frequently incorporates cultural-transmission models. Cultural evolution is not the same as biological evolution: human culture involves the transmission of cultural information (compare memetics), and such transmission can behave in ways quite distinct from human biology and genetics. The study of cultural change increasingly takes place through cladistics and genetic models.

   Research Methods and Institutions

   Evolutionary anthropologists employ a variety of methods, including comparative analyses of genes, cognitive abilities, social systems, and languages. Fieldwork often involves studying both fossil and living primates, as well as archaeological sites worldwide. Leading research centers, such as the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, focus on interdisciplinary studies combining genetics, culture, and cognition to reconstruct human evolutionary history. Universities like Kyoto University conduct extensive fieldwork in Africa and Eurasia, examining fossil hominids and primates to understand evolutionary adaptations.

   The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology brings together scientists from diverse backgrounds (natural sciences and humanities) with the aim of investigating the history of humankind from an interdisciplinary perspective using comparative analyses of genes, cultures, cognitive abilities, languages and social systems of past and present human populations, as well as those of primates closely related to humans.
