Physical anthropology is closely associated with the study of human evolution, biological diversity, and adaptation to different environments. This field also examines skeletal remains, genetics, and primatology to understand human biological variability and how it has changed over time.
Anthropology encompasses four main areas: cultural anthropology (study of human societies and cultures), archaeology (study of past human societies through material remains), biological anthropology (study of human evolution and biological diversity), and linguistic anthropology (study of language and communication in human societies).

Transculturation is most closely associated with the shaping of cultural traits in Cuba.

Cultural anthropology focuses on studying human cultures, customs, beliefs, and social structures, while physical anthropology examines human biological diversity, evolution, and adaptations. Cultural anthropology explores how societies create and transmit cultural knowledge, while physical anthropology investigates the biological aspects of human beings, such as anatomy, genetics, and primatology.
