Anthropologie-International Journal of Human Diversity and Evolution
Scope & Guideline
Innovating Perspectives on Human Diversity
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Biological Anthropology:
Research on human biological diversity, including studies on genetics, morphology, and health disparities among different populations. - Archaeological Anthropology:
Exploration of past human societies through archaeological findings, emphasizing cultural practices, burial rites, and material culture. - Ethnoarchaeology and Comparative Ethnology:
Analysis of contemporary societies to better understand past behaviors and cultural practices, enhancing the interpretation of archaeological data. - Paleopathology:
Investigation of ancient diseases and health conditions through skeletal remains, providing insights into the health status of past populations. - Anthropometric Studies:
Measurement and analysis of human physical characteristics to understand growth patterns, health, and nutritional status across different populations. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
Utilization of various methodologies from genetics, archaeology, and cultural anthropology to provide a holistic understanding of human evolution and diversity.
Trending and Emerging
- Integration of Technology in Research:
An increasing number of studies utilize advanced technologies such as photogrammetry and MRI for anthropological research, indicating a trend towards more precise and technologically-enhanced methodologies. - Health and Disease in Historical Contexts:
There is a growing emphasis on understanding health and disease patterns in historical populations, particularly in relation to bioarchaeological findings, reflecting current global health concerns. - Genetic Studies and Human Variation:
Research on genetic diversity and its implications for understanding human evolution and health disparities is gaining prominence, highlighting the importance of genetics in anthropological research. - Impact of Environmental Stressors:
Emerging studies focus on the effects of environmental stressors on human health and development, aligning with global discussions on climate change and its impact on human populations. - Cultural Responses to Modern Challenges:
The exploration of how past societies adapted to challenges, such as pandemics or environmental changes, is increasingly relevant, paralleling contemporary societal responses to similar issues.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Ethnographic Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focusing solely on traditional ethnographic methods, possibly due to a growing emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches that integrate various methodologies. - Historical Analysis of Specific Cultures:
Research centered on the detailed historical analysis of specific cultures is less frequent, indicating a shift towards broader comparative studies or bioarchaeological investigations. - Focus on Western Populations:
Studies that predominantly focus on Western populations or contexts have diminished, suggesting a movement towards more inclusive research that values global diversity. - Single-Dimensional Health Studies:
Research focusing solely on one dimension of health (e.g., diet or exercise) without considering socio-cultural contexts appears to be declining, reflecting a growing recognition of the complexity of health issues.
