One of the – in my view – most interesting anthropology blogs, Neuroanthropology, has recently celebrated post #1000 and made a list over their Top 100 Posts – based on page views (there is also a list with their personal favorites).
At the same time, the blog has moved to http://blogs.plos.org/neuroanthropology/. They are now part of the new Public Library of Science: PLoS Blogs, “a serious and powerful voice for open-access scholarship and education”. Neuroanthropology bloggers Daniel Lende and Greg Downey hope to “act as a voice for anthropology in a scholarly and public forum built around science and medicine”.
Neuroanthropology is one of the rather few outward looking anthropology blogs – writing both for fellow researchers and the interested public. There are many in-depth magazine style posts – and not only about neuroanthropology – often regarded as one of the most exciting research fields.
One of the most recent posts deals with the question: How does language affect thought and perception? while others discuss The Pitfalls and Pratfalls of Criminals or The dog-human connection in evolution or the Neuroanthropology of Morality.
Public Anthropology is a popular topic, see for example On Reaching a Broader Public or Glory Days – Anthropologists as Journalists or Student Websites and the Classroom: Anthropology Online.
A lot to explore and learn!
