Resumen
La Antropología Física es una disciplina muy elaborada que se encarga del estudio de la evolución y la variabilidad humana, a partir del estudio del cuerpo humano y de los primates, esto es muy útil para otras disciplinas como es la Arqueología, ya que ayuda a reconstruir la historia del pasado. En este trabajo se ve cómo ha ido evolucionando a través de la historia hasta llegar a nuestros días. Además, se analizarán los diferentes métodos utilizados para hacer un estudio antropológico y se pondrán unos ejemplos de yacimientos arqueológicos en los que se han usado dichas técnicas, mostrando cómo han ido mejorando y precisando sus resultados.
Physical Anthropology is a highly developed discipline that studies human evolution and variability, based on the study of the human body and primates. This is very useful for other disciplines such as archaeology, as it helps reconstruct the history of the past. This work shows how it has evolved throughout history to the present day. In addition, the different methods used to conduct anthropological studies will be analyzed and some examples of archaeological sites where these techniques have been used will be presented, showing how their results have been improved and refined.
