Paleoanthropology is the scientific process that deals with the study of human remains, this field of study involves understanding the differences and similar factors seen in humans and other species in their genes, behavior, and body form.

Paleoanthropologist is the scientist that that specialize in paleoanthropology. They search for their roots in human physical traits and behavior. Evolution occurs as a result of gradual change in genetic material. The process of evolution involves a series of natural changes and transformation that causes species to adapt to the environment or become extinct.

The paleoanthropologist uses early human fossils and archeological remains, which offer important clues on the ancient past. Examples of the remaining used include bones, footprints, butchery marks, etc. Most times, these remains are usually buried in the ground and are found by digging the ground or when they are exposed by rain, rivers, and wind erosion.

Paleoanthropology is the research-based study of human evolution. It is a subfield of anthropology, which is the investigation of human culture, society, and biology. The field entails an understanding of the similarities and differences between humans and other species in genes, body, form physiology and behavior. The evolution of humans is the metamorphic process that led to the appearance of modern humans, beginning with the evolutionary history of primates.

It’s a branch of archeology with a human focus, which seeks to understand the early development of anatomically modern humans, a process known as hominization, through the reconstruction of evolutionary kinship lines within the family homicide, working from biological evidence.
