Research at HumBiol

Exploring the Biology, Diversity and Evolution of Human Populations

Human Biology (HumBiol) is an interdisciplinary journal for research that broadens our understanding of human variation, evolution, genetics, population history, development, and health.

We bring together biological anthropology, genomics, demography, epidemiology, evolutionary biology, and related disciplines to examine the environmental and population processes that shape human diversity.

From original research and reviews to interdisciplinary studies, HumBiol supports rigorous work on adaptation, disease, environment, migration, and population change.

Human Biology journal cover

Human Genetics & Genomics

Genetic variation, inheritance, genomic diversity, molecular markers and population genetics.

Human Evolution

Evolutionary history, adaptation, migration, natural selection and biological diversity.

Population Biology & Demography

Population structure, ancestry, fertility, mortality, migration and demographic change.

Growth, Development & Aging

Human growth, maturation, developmental patterns, life history and biological aging.

Biological Anthropology

Research connecting human biology, evolution, environment, culture and behavior.

Health, Disease & Epidemiology

Biological susceptibility, population health, disease patterns and epidemiological variation.

Nutrition & Environment

Nutrition, ecology, lifestyle and environmental influences on human biological processes.

Human Adaptation & Variation

Physiological, genetic and morphological responses to diverse environments and living conditions.

Population History & Ancestry

Genetic, demographic and biological evidence used to examine population origins and movement.

Interdisciplinary Human Biology

Research integrating genetics, anthropology, public health, demography and evolutionary science.

Through this broad research scope, HumBiol supports meaningful scientific discussion and provides a platform for studies that deepen our understanding of human populations, biological diversity, and the processes that influence human life across time and environments.
