'Human biology' is an interdisciplinary academic field of biology, biological anthropology, and medicine which focuses on humans; it is closely related to primate biology, and a number of other fields.
Human biology research encompasses:

★ Genetic variation across human populations, present and past

★ Biological variation related to climate and other elements of the natural environment

★ Determinants, across populations, of risk for degenerative disease and infectious disease

★ Human growth and development

★ Biodemography
While undisputed boundaries do not exist, human biology is typically distinguished from conventional medical research by an enhanced focus on international, population-level perspectives on health, and on human evolution, adaptation, and population genetics rather than individual diagnosis.
