WW Howells Prize -- Request for Nominations
We hope that you are already aware of the W. W. Howells Book
Prize in Biological Anthropology and invite you to consider
nominating a book that you have recently read.
The W. W. Howells Prize is awarded by the Biological
Anthropology Section of the American Anthropological Association
to honor a book in the area of biological anthropology. The book
should inform a wider audience of the significance of
physical/biological anthropology in the social and biological
sciences and demonstrate a biocultural perspective. Nominated
works should represent the highest standards of scholarship and
readability . The book may have multiple authors, but may not
be an edited volume. Books must be published within the last
three-to-four years and once nominated will remain on the list
for three-to-five years, depending on their date of publication.
