Introduction: Practicing Anthropology in Cuba
We are pleased to have been given the opportunity to work together to bring you this issue on the practice of anthropology in Cuba. In 1995, we coauthored a piece in P.A. (17/1-2) which provided an overview of the applications and practice of physical anthropology in Cuba
The Application and Practice of Physical Anthropology in Cuba
In many ways the development of physical anthropology in Cuba paralleled the history of the discipline in other countries—until the successful Cuban revolution of the late 1950s. The overthrow of the Batista regime by forces led by Fidel Castro had little immediate academic effect because reform was initially concentrated on social, economic, and political spheres. Eventually, however, the revolution greatly influenced the direction of higher edu…

Trends and developments in physical anthropology, 1990–91
The 1408 members of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists were surveyed by mail regarding professional background, training deficiencies, opinions regarding areas of future importance to the discipline, and teaching/research specializations. A total of 544 responses (39%) resulted; 71% were from professionals in the United States and 16% were from U.S. students. Survey results are compared to surveys done in 1971 and in 1978, and a…
Career Alternatives for Physical Anthropologists
The career to which most physical anthropology graduate students have aspired historically is that of college or university faculty member in an anthropology department with a graduate program. Through the early 1970s, such a career was not an unrealistic aspiration. However, an important employment threshold was exceeded in 1975; the production of Ph.D. physical anthropologists by U.S. colleges and universities exceeded the number of new Ph.D. p…

Admixture in a biologically African caste of Black Americans
Social and historical factors account for much of the variation in European ancestry among different Black American populations, including that of McNary, Arizona. The Black population of McNary is socioculturally and geographically isolated. Admixture estimates based upon reflectometry and serological data suggest that this population has less than 5% European ancestry. Anthropometric and hemoglobin data also suggest that this population is more…

The emergence of biomedical anthropology and its implications for the future
Primarily during the past 15 years a distinct new area within physical anthropology has emerged, biomedical anthropology. Physical anthropologists have become heavily involved in studying problems of relevance to the health and illness patterns of living humans. There has been a proportionate increase in biomedically focused papers published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, in biomedically focused papers presented at annual meeti…
South Florida Training Program Undergoes Modifications
The University of South Florida MA Program in Anthropology will change some of its requirements, beginning in the fall of 1983. The primacy emphasis of the program will continue to be the training of practicing anthropologists. During its nine years of existence, USF's Graduate Program in Anthropology has attracted considerable interest nationwide. It was the first exclusively applied program to focus explicitly on masters' level training in appl…
Recreational Niches & Their Management Implications
The Red River Gorge in central Kentucky lies approximately fifty miles southeast of Lexington and is probably best known for its natural features. It is a place of remarkable scenic beauty characterized by extremely rugged topography. Until the late 1960's, it was considered one of the more beautiful parts of the Daniel Boone National Forest. At this time, however, the United States Army Corps of Engineers submitted a proposal to dam the river fo…
