Human biology is the branch of biology that focuses on human beings and human populations; it encompasses all aspects of the human organism including genetics, ecology, anatomy and physiology, anthropology, and nutrition, among others. Human biology is related to other fields of biology such as medicine, primate biology, and biological anthropology.
