What is that science that studies human characteristics and how they pass on?

Heredity is the transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring. Genetics is the study of heredity.

yes.  Geneticists can map geneology by looking at Mitochondrial DNA.  The MDNA passed matrilinealy does not change much over time.  Using this method they have tracked human geneology back to the eastern portion of africa.\n\nShe is also right that the physiological changes are due to the bodies response to climatic variables.

Although one definintion of science is limited to observing natural phenomena, the others can all be related to social sciences:\n-Methodological activity, discipline, or study\n-An activity that appears to require study and method\n-Knowledge, especially that gained through experience\n\nThere are also some applications of scientific method through controled experiments to try and determine cause/effect relationships-  Such as the influence of the media, polling, education, etc.\n\nScience may not be the best name for social studies, given how unreliable and subjective it can be.  But, the social sciences will likely remain with that name for the time being.

Geophysics is the study of the earth by quantitative physical methods, especially by seismic reflection and refraction, geodesy, gravity, magnetic, electrical, electromagnetic, and radioactivity methods.

in more ways than one, yes... genetics, which is the science of genes, heredity and variation, is our future... genetically modified organisms; cloning; gene therapy; stem cell therapy; genetic counselling; forensic science; medicines, vaccines, antibiotics; biological weapons; assisted reproductive techniques; and human sex selection are but some of the promising yet controversial uses and applications of genetics through biotechnology and engineering.\n\nprehistorically, humans applied knowledge of genetics with the domestication and breeding of plants and animals. and with the passing of time, the gaining of knowledge now took genetics to a whole new level. \n\nfurther studies and modern researches even gave rise to different fields thus, paving the way for biotechnology and genetic engineering. classical genetics consists of the techniques and methodologies of genetics, and these patterns of inheritance still remain a useful tool for the study of genetic diseases. behavioral genetics studies the effects of human disorders as well as its causes. in clinical genetics, physicians are trained as geneticists to diagnose, treat, and counsel patients with genetic disorders or syndromes. molecular genetics focuses on the structure and function of genes at a molecular level.

It's called genetics.\n\nCoach

I'd say we read people by what we see. Certain gestures they make or do. The way they say things. People can give out certain kinds of vibes too. Good, bad, or wierd. But i think that's derived from facial expressions or from the eyes.

The social sciences are a group of academic disciplines that study the human aspects of the world. They diverge from the arts and humanities in that the social sciences emphasize the use of the scientific method and rigorous standards of evidence in the study of humanity, including quantitative and qualitative methods.\n\nThe social sciences, in studying both inter-subjective and objective or structural aspects of society, are sometime referred to as soft sciences. This is in contrast to hard sciences, which may focus exclusively on objective aspects of nature.\n\nSocial scientists engage in research and theorize about both aggregate and individual behaviors.

Nurture vs. Nature...\n\nBoth are factors that influence a human's behaviors.\n\nHereditarily speaking, genes influence things such as temperment & patience. It has to do with brain chemistry, adrenaline & other hormones that are released in the body.\n\nEnvironmentally, your parents are your best influence. Most people who abuse others learn by watching others do it. Tolerance is also learned from family members.

This is the study of earths systems.  It is basically environmental science but geographers like to compare differences among different things and areas.  Environmental geography also studies how humans affect the ENVIRONMENT.

Heredity  The transmission of genetic characteristics from parent to child..It's what gives you your hair color and eye color and things of that sort, even gives you certain diseases...like sickel cell anemia...

Medical studies discovered pretty much all vaccines.  Psychological studies help treat people with disorders. Medicine in general is a big one. \nChemists have figured out how to wipe out grease from our dishes and how to use it in our automobiles.  Facial products from cleansers to moisturizers.  Even some things we eat have been developed by chemists.\nIt really depends on what brach of science you are looking at, but every branch has something to offer to society.

I believe the science portion deals with the technicals of how everything works. Where the psychology part deals with the person.

Anthropometry (Greek ανθρωπος, man, and μετρον, measure, literally meaning "measurement of humans"), in physical anthropology, refers to the measurement of living human individuals for the purposes of understanding human physical variation.\n\nToday, anthropometry plays an important role in industrial design, clothing design, ergonomics, and architecture, were statistical data about the distribution of body dimensions in the population are used to optimize products. Changes in life styles, nutrition and ethnic composition of populations lead to changes in the distribution of body dimensions (e.g., the obesity epidemic), and require regular updating of anthropometric data collections.
