It deals with the study of relationships such as skin color and temperature regulation , variability in the intensity of the fundamental metabolic differences in susceptibility of different taste qualities , etc. It focuses mainly on the study of the effects of the external environment on humans , especially in the study of functional changes in humans. - Evolutionary Anthropology addresses the issues of phylogenetic and ontogenetic development. - Anthropology child is engaged in the study of biology only child, its ontogeny and peculiarities of physical structure and function of a child. - Palaeoanthropology ( prehistoric anthropology) is a branch of anthropology that deals with the evolution of man, his status and way of life , physical and mental characteristics in prehistoric times.

Part of biological anthropology paleoanthropology, dedicated to the study of human development as a species and its evolution. Furthermore, ethnic anthropology that deals with races, race types and characteristics of ethnic groups, ethnicity, what is the overlap in cultural anthropology. The biological anthropology is closely related to ethology, the science that deals with the behavior of animals. It focuses on the relationship of inherited and learned factors in motivation and communication structures of each species during ontogeny and phylogeny. A separate sub-discipline of human ethology.
