La Mettrie was a doctor and strict materialist who influenced the french enlightenment (L'homme machine is incredible stuff). And then ofc biopolitics, most theories clustered around Marxism, and feminist and queer philosophy have all investigated the biological.
A lot of philosophy has always kinda rung hollow to me because there just isn’t very much biology in it and that seems insane to me.
(I recognize that some times when people have tried to put biology into philosophy have gone very bad.)
