'''Physical anthropology''' studies primates—[[ape]]s, [[monkey]]s, human variation etc. In many ways it is more akin to [[biology]] than to traditional anthropology. Much of its focus is on the [[[muscle|musculature]], [[skeleton|skeletal]] structure, and [[neurology]] of primates.  Included in this field is forensic and medical anthropology.  Forensic anthropology is using knowledge of [[bone]] structure, growth and [[taphonomy]] to aid in [[crime|criminal]] investigations.  Medical anthropology is the study of health care systems and [[disease]] history.
