"The New Biological Anthropology: Bringing Washburn's New Physical Anthropology Into 2010 And Beyond—The 2008 AAPA Luncheon Lecture"

Agustin Fuentes

Abstract

Nearly 60 years ago, Sherwood Washburn issued a call for a “New Physical Anthropology,” a transition from measurement and classification toward a focus on the processes and mechanisms of evolutionary change. He advocated multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to the understanding of human behavior, biology, and history. Many interpret this as a call for a practice that is both biological and anthropological. Is this what we do? Are we biological anthropologists yet? In this essay, I explore what we, Physical Anthropologists, as a discipline are doing in the context of a New Physical Anthropology, where we might be headed, and why this discussion is crucial to our relevance.
