For those of you not reading that blog (what the hell is wrong with you!) here is a description:
Neuroanthropology examines the integration, as well as the breadth, of anthropology and neuroscience. Sometimes we do straight neuroscience, other times pure anthropology. Most of the time we’ll be somewhere in the middle.
The blog thrives on intersections and convergences, aiming to mesh the insights of neuroscience and anthropology into a more cohesive whole. We often throw some psychology, philosophy, evolution and human biology into the mix as well.
Greg and Daniel regularly generate outstanding and fascinating posts, while also providing commentary and links to some of the most cutting edge research happening today. I recommend Neuroanthropology to anyone interested in human behaviour, neuroscience and/or culture.
Here is the rationale behind the recent move in the author’s own words:
Congrats to them! As for you… go READ and SUBSCRIBE to that blog. Seriously. Go.One of the things that has us most excited, that really clinched our decision to make the move to PLoS, is that we hope we might act as a voice for anthropology in a scholarly and public forum built around science and medicine. Anthropology offers powerful insights from cross-cultural research and sophisticated integrative theory that deserve a much wider audience, one we hope to help grow here at PLoS Blogs.As research becomes increasingly international and interdisciplinary, researchers in all fields need to confront the complexities of worldwide variation and of cultural biases, including our own. Anthropology has done this work for over a century now, and is in a wonderful position to offer the fruits of these intellectual efforts, including hard won wisdom from our own field’s mistakes, to the work of science and medicine represented at PLoS.
