Linguistic anthropology investigates languages and their influence on social life. Biological anthropology concentrates on the biological, evolutionary, and demographic analysis of both humans and non-human primates. This includes investigating the interplay of biological and social factors shaping their evolutionary trajectories. Similarly, in social anthropology, behavior patterns are observed.
