Physical/biological anthropology: primatology, study of other primates, i. e. apes and monkeys, human variation, we are all the same and yet different, apparent and non-apparent differences, ex: sherpas in the andes and mt. Everest: human paleontology, human fossil record, evolutionary trend, biological forensic anthropology, csi stuff, carbon dating of bones.
