| Abstract | ||
| Biological Anthropology had been considerably changed from beginning to now. From 19th to Mid-20th century, the race has been the principal concept in bio-anthropologic researches. Since Mid-20th, the concept of race replaced with the new subjects. The second half of 20th century can be counted as the transition period for bio-anthropology. The three last decades of 20th century are the decades of increasingly growth of the discipline. Throughout these years the discipline goes ahead from a general situation to a more specialized one. The specialties such as Human genetics, Primatology, Human economy and paleoanthropology are the most important specialties which are developing right now. In 21st, a new important approach named bio-cultural approach established under the discipline in which both biological and culture aspect are include when studying a human issue. Nutritional Anthropology, Embodiment and Medical Anthropology and Neural Anthropology are some of its sub-areas. These sub-areas are considered as the most practical areas in contemporary anthropology. This article deals with this new approach and its sub-areas. | ||
