American Anthropological Association Blog
The American Anthropological Association (AAA) has created this blog as a service to our members and the general public. It is a forum to discuss topics of debate in anthropology and a space for public commentary on association policies, publications and advocacy issues. We will post select items that we think are of interest to our members or that you, the reader, have voiced an interest in. We invite you to use this domain to spur intellectual discussion and critique that is grounded in anthropological and other scientific research. Please feel free to contact us with any suggestions, queries or potential contributions you might have.
The Iceman Photo Scan is an innovative project which records the complete photographic documentation of the body of the Iceman mummy. Thanks to 12 differing angle-shots it is possible to see the whole body of the mummy. The intuitive zoom function enables a high-resolution navigation, from a total body image down to millimetric detail. The image at any enlargement guarantees both a perfect view and accurate colour reproduction. Particular attention has been deserved to the recording of the tattoos on the mummy's body. This section contains the complete mapping of the tattoos via high definition photos of the single interesting points. It is also possible to compare and contrast the images taken with white light with those taken with a particular UV light. An apposite selection of images, enables the 3D view of the mummy. The amazing show can be enjoyed exclusively by wearing the specific anaglyph glasses, which can be easily purchased on the internet.
john hawks weblog | paleoanthropology, genetics, and evolution
I'm an anthropologist, and I study the bones and genes of ancient humans. I was trained as a paleoanthropologist. ``Paleoanthropology'' is more than a speciality within anthropology, or biology. It is an integrated study involving methods and insights from many fields. Unlike many paleoanthropologists, my study extends across the entire span of human evolution, the last 6 million years, as I examine the genetic and environmental causes that made the foundation of our origins. My academic position is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. I've been in Madison since 2002. In the fall of 2009 I am on leave from the university working on several projects. I started writing this blog for two basic reasons: first, because there are some really interesting issues in paleoanthropology that are not well covered in the mainstream science press, and second, because I needed a good way to organize my notes.
Popular Anthropology: Theses and Dissertations Database
Welcome to Popular Anthropology Magazine's free online Theses and Dissertations Database. This database is available free of charge to both scholars and the general public, and includes Bachelor's and Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations. You can search for publications here, and also submit your publications to the database as well. We accept theses and dissertations in any language and in any discipline.
Are we so different? Current science tells us we share a common ancestry and the differences among people we see are natural variations, results of migration, marriage and adaptation to different environments. How does this fit with the idea of race? Looking through the eyes of history, science and lived experience, the RACE Project explains differences among people and reveals the reality – and unreality – of race. The story of race is complex and may challenge how we think about race and human variation, about the differences and similarities among people.
The eSkeletons Project website is devoted to the study of human and primate comparative anatomy. It offers a unique set of digitized versions of skeletons in 2-D and 3-D in full color, animations, and much supplemental information. The user can navigate through the various regions of the skeleton and view all orientations of each element along with muscle and joint information. eSkeletons enables you to view the bones of both human and non-human primates ranging from the gorilla to the tiny mouse lemur. All of the large apes are represented as well as other species from different parts of the world. Many of these primates are rare or endangered species.
UNC Writing Center Handout on Anthropology Writing Assignments
This handout briefly situates anthropology as a discipline of study within the social sciences. It provides an introduction to the kinds of writing that you might encounter in your anthropology courses, describes some of the expectations that your instructors may have, and suggests some ways to approach your assignments. It also includes links to information on citation practices in anthropology and resources for writing anthropological research papers.
Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthropology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to the Anthropology WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Anthropology. A WikiProject is a collection of pages devoted to the management of a specific topic or family of topics within Wikipedia; and, simultaneously, a group of editors who use those pages to collaborate on encyclopedic work. It is not a place to write encyclopedia articles directly, but a resource to help coordinate and organize the writing and editing of those articles. The discussion pages attached to a project page are a convenient forum for those interested in that project.
