摘要
体质人类学是研究人类体质特征在时间上和空间上的变化及其发展规律的科学,主要涉及四个方面:第一,通过对人类化石及现生灵长类的分析与研究,探索人类的起源,其目的是了解人类是如何、何时、为什么会成为与其他动物不同的"社会文化"的动物;第二,研究人类不同体质特征形成与分布的规律;第三,研究人体结构与功能、遗传与变异等方面;第四,运用体质人类学的研究方法,对现代人类的生产、生活的实际问题进行研究。本文梳理了国内外学者对体质人类学学科的阐释,并对当代中国体质人类学的学科体系与实践进行了分析和综述。
Physical anthropology is a branch of anthropology that studies the physical development of the human species as well as its rules. It mainly cover four aspects： 1. the study of human origins through the study of human fossils and the existing primates and how and when humans became ＂so- cio--cultural＂ animals different from other animals. 2. the formative rule and distribution of the physical features of mankind. 3. the study of the physical structure, functions, inheritance and varia- tions of human body. 4. the study of the production and life of modern men from the perspective of physical anthropology. The paper summarizes the views of the physical anthropologists at home and abroad and discusses the disciplinary system and practice of physical anthropology in China.
