Biological or Physical anthropology is the study of the evolution of humans. Many anthropologists study skeletal remains in coordination with the police with regards to the legal system. There are of corse many sub branches of anthropology including osteology, the study of bones, and palaeopathology, the study of ancient diseases.

In general Scientists called Geologists study bones and fossils. This specialism in Geology is called "Paleontology" so the expert Geologists are called Palaeontologists.

However evolutionary scientists (in general - such as zoologists) also study the evidence for past life and evolution contained in the fossil record.

Geology is the study of the Earth, and encompasses these things, but the study of fossils is known as Palaeontology. If 'ancient' also applies to rocks in your question, I should tell you that most rocks are very ancient indeed (hundreds of millions of years old). Lithology is the study of rocks in general.
