Study of the evolution of man as an animal

Anthropology is the scientific study of humanity, encompassing human behavior, biology, cultures, societies, and linguistics, both past and present. Specifically, biological or physical anthropology focuses on the evolution of humans as a species, including their physical characteristics and development, aligning perfectly with the question. Chronology is the science of arranging events in their order of occurrence in time, not the study of human evolution. Archaeology is the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts. Ethnology is a branch of anthropology that compares and analyzes the characteristics of different peoples and the relationships between them, focusing more on cultural comparison than biological evolution.
