Introduction: Anthropology is the study of the human race and its evolution. The anthropology studies about the behavior of the human race from the past till present. Anthropology is divided into four branches namely, physical or biological, cultural, linguistic, and archaeology anthropology.
Correct answer: c. The evolution of humans or other primates.
Reason for the correct answer:
The physical or biological anthropology is the study of evolution and variations of the human race from the primates. The anthropologist studies the primitive human ancestor remains and their behavior and compares them with modern humans to find different races among humans.
Option c. is given as “The evolution of humans or other primates”.
Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Reasons for incorrect answers:
Option a. is given as “learned and shared behaviors in a current human society”.
The cultural anthropology contributes to the learned behavior of humans; the learned behavior is transmitted from one human to another within society. Therefore, option a is incorrect.
Option b. is given as “material remains from a past human society”.
Studying the ancestral human material remains from the past is called archaeology anthropology. Therefore, option b is incorrect.
Option d. is given as “The construction and cultural context of human language”.
The linguistic anthropology deals with the human language, how the written and spoken symbols are formed and transferred from human to humans. Therefore, option d is incorrect.
Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.
The physical anthropology deals with the behavior, evaluation, and variation of human races from past till present.
