Biological Anthropology What is researched within Biological Anthropology? Biological Anthropology studies the behaviours and biological variations of human beings‚ other primates‚ and extinct hominin ancestors. This subfield of anthropology provides us with a biological perspective on the variation of humans as a whole. What are some Biological Anthropology Research Methods? Since it is such a broad sub-discipline‚ the research methods tend to vary. Some biological anthropologists

1) Biological Approach The Biological approach studies the relationship between behavior and the brain and nervous system. Theorically all behavior can be related to changes in brain activity. Because brain is the processing centre that controls all complex behavior. One of the main assumptions of the biological approach is that all behavior is associated with changes in brain function. Therefore the psychopathology will occur due to changes in either the structure if related to changes in the

Biological Theories “Biological theories of crime focus on the physiological‚ biochemical‚ neurological‚ and genetic factors that influence criminal behavior. However‚ such theories also stress the complex link between a person ’s biology and the broad span of social or environmental factors that sociological theories examine” (Denno‚ 2009). Biological factors that contribute to crime are something neurological or chemical related‚ which is not to be confused with a genetic factor that is inherited

The psychologist taking the biological approach would respond with an explanation of how the brain may be deficient in a certain area. He/she may suggest that there is a chemical imbalance in the brain causing the irrational actions displayed by the criminal. There may be any number of chemicals in the brain that could be off and affecting reactions in the nervous system all the way into the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. Additionally‚ the psychologist may attribute genetic markers

Biological Currency The objective of this lab is to figure out whether or not this money is counterfeit. We will attempt to find the information needed to prove that the money is counterfeit or not by looking at it under a microscope and by using iodine drops to compare the money’s result with the results of different items. Counterfeiting money is not a new to any country. It started when paper money was first made. Some countries attempt to counterfeit rivals money to drive their economy downward

Biological Science Lesson 1 Zoology - branch of biology that deals with the life of animals. 1. Morphology - studies forms and structure of animals. a. Gross anatomy - performs surgical technique ; dissection (cutting up). b. Paleontology - studies pre-historic forms of animals through fossil. 2. Histology - study of tissues & organs‚ their structure‚ functions & composition at a microscopic level. 3. Cytology - study of the structure & function and its parts at microsopic level or

\Biological Intercations Biological interactions are the effects organisms in a community have on one another. In the natural world no organism exists in absolute isolation‚ and thus every organism must interact with the environment and other organisms. An organism’s interactions with its environment are fundamental to the survival of that organism and the functioning of the ecosystem as a whole. In ecology‚ biological interactions can involve individuals of the same species (intraspecific interactions)
