Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paleoanthropology specifically studies the origins and evolution of human ancestors, including the use of fossils and ancient DNA analysis. Prehistoric archaeology and historic archaeology may also involve the study of human ancestors, but they focus more on artifacts and cultural practices from specific time periods. Forensic anthropology is concerned with identifying human remains and determining the cause of death, but does not typically involve studying ancient ancestors.
