Human adaptation is a research area that focuses on how humans have evolved and adapted to their environments over time. This field examines the biological and cultural changes that have occurred in human populations in response to different environmental pressures, such as climate change, habitat destruction, and disease outbreaks. Researchers in this field study various aspects of human adaptability, including physiological, genetic, behavioral, and cognitive adaptations. By studying human adaptation, scientists seek to gain a better understanding of how humans have survived and thrived in diverse environments, and how they may continue to adapt in the face of ongoing environmental challenges.
