Welcome to Explorations and biological anthropology
Mission Statement: To provide a high-quality introductory biological anthropology textbook that is readable, engaging, and accessible to all students. With chapters written by experienced instructors and subject area specialists, this textbook addresses the question of what it means to be human by exploring the origins, evolution, and diversification of primates, especially that of our species, Homo sapiens.
Anthropology is the study of humanity, in all its biological and cultural aspects, past and present. It is a four-field discipline comprised of biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology. The focus of this book is biological anthropology, which explores who we are from biological, evolutionary, and adaptive perspectives.
We lay the foundation for this inquiry in the first four chapters by introducing the discipline of anthropology, evolutionary theory, molecular biology and genetics, and the forces of evolution.

Описание: Biological anthropology is the branch of anthropology that studies the biology and behavior of humans. It also studies non-human primates and extinct hominin ancestors of humans. The primary branches of biological anthropology are paleoanthropology, primatology, human behavioral ecology, human biology, paleopathology and bioarchaeology. All of these branches study the morphology and behavior of humans from an evolutionary perspective. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of biological anthropology. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
Thirty-five years after its initial success as a form of technologically assisted human reproduction, and five million miracle babies later, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become a routine procedure worldwide. In Biological Relatives, Sarah Franklin explores how the normalization of IVF has changed how both technology and biology are understood. Drawing on anthropology, feminist theory, and science studies, Franklin charts the evolution of IVF from an experimental research technique into a global technological platform used for a wide variety of applications, including genetic diagnosis, livestock breeding, cloning, and stem cell research. She contends that despite its ubiquity, IVF remains a highly paradoxical technology that confirms the relative and contingent nature of biology while creating new biological relatives. Using IVF as a lens, Franklin presents a bold and lucid thesis linking technologies of gender and sex to reproductive biomedicine, contemporary bioinnovation, and the future of kinship.

Описание:
This book examines how synthetic biologists make, tinker with, and reason through experimental systems, and shows how these various activities articulate with the demands of academic life. Dan-Cohen's book offers a set of timely interventions into cross-disciplinary discussions of the nature of knowledge, the relationship between knowledge and control, and the role of the university in giving form to modern 'technoscience.' It frames synthetic biology as the latest permutation in a history of mutual incursions between nature and culture, and as an heir to a long tradition of populating biology with new kinds of objects, relationships, practices, and forms of expertise. It follows synthetic biologists as they attempt to make and know new biological things while also stabilizing this novel field and their place within it. Synthetic biology has been the subject of much hype, the substance of which revolves around a future of biological design and fabrication, of end users, standardized parts made from scratch, and lively markets. As Dan-Cohen shows, attending to these aspirations obscures two basic features of synthetic biology in its present-day incarnation, features that ethnography brings bluntly into view.

Описание: In The Alternative Introduction to Biological Anthropology, Second Edition, author Jonathan Marks presents an innovative framework for thinking about the major issues in the field with fourteen original essays designed to correlate to the core chapters in standard textbooks. Each chapter draws on and complements-but does not reconstitute (except for the sake of clarity)-the major data and ideas presented in standard texts. Marks explores such topics as howwe make sense of data about our origins, where our modern ideas come from, our inability to separate natural facts from cultural facts and values as we try to understand ourselves, and the social and political aspects of science as a culturally situated mental activity.
