similarities (both biological and cultural), in past and current human populations.
Holistic Approach - correct answer ✔✔This examines many different features or

ancestors, and closely related primates. This also focuses on how and why
contemporary human populations differ in biological or physical characteristics.
Archaeology - correct answer ✔✔Past human cultures through their material
remains.
Archaeology - correct answer ✔✔Understanding cultural diversity from the past

divided into the two subcategories of prosimians and anthropoids.
Primatologists - correct answer ✔✔people who study primates.
