Question

How would a biological anthropologist study tools?

Answer 1

A biological anthropologist study tools to develop an understanding of the form and function of the human body, the environment, social behavior, and how humans have evolved with respect to these aspects. Thus the Physical or Biological anthropology uses an evolutionary perspective in dealing with the evolution of humans, their variability, and adaptations to environmental stresses. They examine not only the physical form of humans - the bones, muscles, and organs - but also how it functions to allow survival and reproduction.
