Define biological anthropology and discuss its history and development. 

Biological anthropology, also known as physical anthropology, is a branch of anthropology that focuses on the biological and physical aspects of humans and their evolutionary ancestors. It seeks to understand human biology, diversity, and adaptation in the context of evolution, often incorporating data from fossils, genetics, primatology, and human biology. This field explores how evolutionary processes shape human physiology, behavior, and cultural practices and examines the interaction between biology and environment.

### Definition and Scope of Biological Anthropology

Biological anthropology can be defined as the study of the biological and biocultural aspects of humans and their relatives, both living and extinct. It encompasses various subfields, including:  
- Paleoanthropology: Study of human evolution through fossils.  
- Primatology: Study of non-human primates to understand human origins and behavior.  
- Human Biology: Focus on genetic and physiological diversity within contemporary human populations.  
- Forensic Anthropology: Application of biological anthropology to legal contexts, such as identifying human remains.  
- Bioarchaeology: Examination of human remains in archaeological contexts to understand past societies.
