Do Not Reply To The List(please)... [posted 3/2/06] Humanism has historically made the human endeavor the subject of its concerns. Humanistic anthropology seeks to bring the intellectual resources of the discipline to bear upon this subject. While not blind to the constraints within which we humans operate, humanistic anthropology, in the tradition of the discipline, celebrates that human reality is something upon which we creative primates have real feedback effects: we can change our social and natural environment. Accordingly, it recognizes that anthropological inquiry constitutes a part of that work, particularly in promoting multicultural understanding and revealing the social blockages that are deleterious to our social and physical environment. The Society for Humanistic Anthropology was founded at the 1974 meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Mexico City. Membership is open to all who share an enthusiasm for both humans and anthropology. The Society meets annually as a section of the American Anthropological Association. A Gift of the Journey
