AB - This study examined the historical transition from physical anthropology to biological anthropology, and then to evolutionary anthropology, exploring the changes in the sub-disciplinary names within anthropology and their modern implications. In the 19th century, Paul Broca in France and Rudolf Virchow in Germany established physical anthropology centered around human morphology and racial classification. However, the limits of this approach became clear under the influences of colonialism and eugenics. Against this backdrop, this research tracked the academic changes and nomenclature shifts in anthropology through literature reviews and historical document analysis. By mid-20th century, as genetics, ecology, and studies on human adaptation rose to prominence, biological anthropology moved beyond the fixed concepts of race, integrating evolutionary theory and an interdisciplinary approach. Sherwood Washburn's "New Physical Anthropology" symbolized this turning point. Furthermore, evolutionary anthropology has become a core area of modern anthropology, encompassing biological, behavioral, and cultural dimensions. This study examined the academic development processes in various regions including France, Germany, the UK, the USA, and Korea, and analyzed how the social and historical contexts and the activities of representative researchers influenced the changes in sub-disciplinary names within anthropology. These name changes represent not merely lexical adjustments but the maturation and expansion of the academic framework for interpreting human diversity and evolution. Through these discussions, the study aimed to lay the groundwork for promoting academic integration and cooperation within anthropology.
