American Association of Physical Anthropologists Meeting

American Association of Physical Anthropologists is the world's leading professional organization for physical anthropologists. The Association's annual meetings draw more than two thousand scientists and students from all over the world. Physical anthropology is a biological science that deals with the adaptations, variability, and evolution of human beings and their living and fossil relatives. Because it studies human biology in the context of human culture and behavior, physical anthropology is also a social science.
