Annals of Human Biology 50th Anniversary Collection

Created 02 Feb 2024 | 10 articles

Annals of Human Biology 50th Anniversary Collection showcases the most highly cited papers that have contributed to the journal's success over the past five decades.

Publications in the Annals of Human Biology over the last 50 years have documented the fundamental changes in our understanding of the relationship between humans and the environments in which they live. Research encompassing the pillars of human biology on which the journal was based - human evolution, genetics, growth and constitution, ecology, and behaviour - have reflected these changes based on most pertinent questions being asked and answered with the highest scientific quality.

It is our great pleasure to share this Collection with our readers and continue our journal's success.
