Definición

  • A branch of anthropology, also called physical anthropology, that studies human beings in the context of their links with the animal world, adopting an evolutionary perspective and closely allied to sociobiology. It is biologically reductionist, and in studying disease, ignores the social, political and economic factors which socially produce and distribute it (anthropology of health; medical anthropology).
