'''Human biology''' is an [[interdisciplinary]] [[academic field]] of [[biology]], [[biological anthropology]], and [[medicine]] which focuses on [[human]]s; 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_development_%28biology%29|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]].
