Human Biology

ISSN : 0018-7143 eISSN : 1534-6617
Abbreviation : Hum. Biology
Aims & Scope
Human Biology publishes original scientific articles, brief communications, letters to the editor, and review articles on the general topic of biological anthropology.
Our main focus is understanding human biological variation and human evolution through a broad range of approaches.
We encourage investigators to submit any study on human biological diversity presented from an evolutionary or adaptive perspective.
Priority will be given to interdisciplinary studies that seek to better explain the interaction between cultural processes and biological processes in our evolution.
Methodological papers are also encouraged.
Any computational approach intended to summarize cultural variation is encouraged.
Studies that are essentially descriptive or concern only a limited geographic area are acceptable only when they have a wider relevance to understanding human biological variation.
Manuscripts may cover any of the following disciplines, once the anthropological focus is apparent: human population genetics, evolutionary and genetic demography, quantitative genetics, evolutionary biology, ancient DNA studies, biological diversity interpreted in terms of adaptation (biometry, physical anthropology), and interdisciplinary research linking biological and cultural diversity (inferred from linguistic variability, ethnological diversity, archaeological evidence, etc.).
