This is connected somewhat to science, though not very strongly to physics, chemistry, or astronomy. There is some connection to earth science and more to biology.

Personal studies will be significant. The human body is particularly important to human origins. Studies of body systems, body functions, disease, life span, and form will be useful. Psychology, and biography seem to be less directly useful.

Connections to social presentation, demography, other areas of physial anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups are also useful. This is also connected to culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture. It is also connected to institutions including families, education, economics, government, and religion.

Connections to sociology including social structure and change, communities, and peoples of the world can be made.

The history of these studies is complex. Developments in prehistory and antiquity are difficult to trace. In classical and medieval history, this was speculative and considered the realm of philosophy. In modern times, this began to be examined from a philosophical perspective. The future is obscure.
