Anthropologists work in many parts of the world in close personal association with the peoples and situations they study. Their professional situation is, therefore, uniquely varied and complex. They are involved with their discipline, their colleagues, their students, their sponsors, their subjects, their own and host governments, the particular individuals and groups with whom they do their fieldwork, other populations and interest groups in the nations within which they work, and the study of processes and issues affecting general human welfare. In a field of such complex involvements, misunderstandings, conflicts, and the necessity to make choices among conflicting values are bound to arise and to generate ethical dilemmas. It is a prime responsibility of anthropologists to anticipate these and to plan to resolve them in such a way as to do damage neither to those whom they study nor, insofar as possible, to their scholarly community.
Anthropology Biographies at the EMuseum @ Minnesota State University Mankato
This biography web has been developed by the anthropology students at Minnesota State University, Mankato as a part of our EMuseum. We strive to produce brief descriptions of anthropologists and other scientists that have direct influence on the discipline of anthropology. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but we are continuing to add and it grows each semester. Feel free to suggest names in our comment section (use the 'Help' button) for any future people you would like to see included. We presently have biographies on 845 people who have influenced anthropology in some way. We are adding new ones all the time.
Evolution of Evolution - 150 Years of Darwin's "On the Origin of Species"
The National Science Foundation created this resource with an excellent overview of evolutionary theory over the last 150 years. This online exhibit features a timeline of events, videos, images, and essays by scientists, such as Tim White and Ken Weiss. The online exhibit covers these areas of evolutionary science: Anthropology, Geosciences, Astronomy, Charles Darwin, Biology, and Polar Sciences.
Learn.Genetics @ the University of Utah
Learn.Genetics delivers educational materials on genetics, bioscience and health topics. They are designed to be used by students, teachers and members of the public. The materials meet selected US education standards for science and health.
The Evolution project's eight-hour television miniseries travels the world to examine evolutionary science and the profound effect it has had on society and culture. From the genius and torment of Charles Darwin to the scientific revolution that spawned the tree of life, from the power of sex to drive evolutionary change to the importance of mass extinctions in the birth of new species, the Evolution series brings this fascinating process to life. The series also explores the emergence of consciousness, the origin and success of humans, and the perceived conflict between science and religion in understanding life on Earth. The Evolution series' goals are to heighten public understanding of evolution and how it works, to dispel common misunderstandings about the process, and to illuminate why it is relevant to all of us.

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 Human Origins Program at the Smithsonian Institution
The Human Origins Program at the Smithsonian is dedicated to understanding the biological and cultural foundations of human life. Our two objectives follow the fundamental goals of the Smithsonian Institution: to advance scientific knowledge through continuing cutting-edge research, and to create the opportunity for public access to this knowledge. We are committed to furthering scientific knowledge about the evolutionary origin of human beings, including our species' relationship and interactions with the natural world. Our ongoing fieldwork and new projects in Africa, Asia, and Europe investigate clues and accumulate precise data about early human adaptation, evolution, and environmental change
Visible Proofs: Forensic Views of the Body: Home Page
Visible Proofs is about the history of forensic medicine. Over the centuries, physicians, surgeons, and other professionals have struggled to develop scientific methods that translate views of bodies and body parts into "visible proofs" that can persuade judges, juries, and the public.
