  • Understanding Human Evolution: A Guide to Anthropology & Paleoanthropology
    The study of human evolution is called anthropology, specifically the subfields of biological anthropology and paleoanthropology.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Anthropology is the study of humankind, including our origins, development, and cultural diversity.

    * Biological anthropology focuses on the biological aspects of human evolution, including our physical characteristics, genetics, and behavior.

    * Paleoanthropology is a branch of biological anthropology that specifically studies the fossil record of human evolution, including the discovery, analysis, and interpretation of fossil hominids.

    While "anthropology" is the overarching term, "paleoanthropology" is often used specifically when referring to the study of human evolution.
