Physical Anthropology

Physical anthropology, branch of anthropology concerned with the origin, evolution, and diversity of people. Physical anthropologists work broadly on three major sets of problems: human and nonhuman primate evolution, human variation and its significance (see also race), and the biological bases of human behaviour.

Neutral Theory of Evolution in Anthropology

Neutral Theory of Evolution

According to the neutral theory of evolution, the bulk of molecular variation has no influence on fitness, so random processes are the most likely cause of genetic variation.
Out of Africa Theory - Evolution

Out of Africa Theory

In-depth inquiries into the ancestry of Homo sapiens, or modern humans, have been done throughout history. One method is the "multi-regional hypothesis of human evolution".
Neo Darwinism Modern Theory of Origin of Species - Anthroholic

Neo Darwinism

Neo Darwinism is sometimes referred to as the Modern Theory of Origin of Species or the Modern Synthesis theory of Evolution.
Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium - Human Evolution Physical Anthropology

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium

The underlying premise of this Equilibrium is that, in a large population with random mating and lack of additional factors like genetic drift, mutation, and natural selection the frequencies of certain genes tends to remain constant from one generation to another.
Pangenesis Theory by Charles Darwin - Anthropology

Pangenesis Theory

Pangenesis Theory is one of the Theories of Inheritance given by Sir Charles Darwin. He coined the term Pangenesis with the terms ‘pan’ which means whole and ‘genesis’ which means origin.
Chromosomal Analysis - Anthroholic

Chromosomal Analysis

Chromosomal analysis can reveal important details regarding genetic diversity in humans, population genetics, and the forces that drive evolution.
Archaeogenetics - Archaeology Anthroholic

Archaeogenetics

According to Colin Renfrew, the application of molecular population genetics approaches to the study of human evolution is referred to as "archaeogenetics."
Organic Evolution in Anthropology

Organic Evolution

Organic evolution is the gradual accumulation of genetic changes in populations of organisms over time that results in the transformation of species into new ones.
Auxology Human Growth and Development - Anthroholic

Auxology

Auxology is the science which deals with the curiosity of humans to answer the questions behind the phenomenon of human growth and development.
Anthropocene - Anthroholic

Anthropocene

A new epoch known as the Anthropocene is swiftly coming. This notion, which is being studied by climate scientists, geologists, archaeologists, historians, ecologists, and poets, has been embraced by authors, activists, artists, and poets.
