EAS is a community of scholars interested in applying modern evolutionary theory to the analysis of human biology, behavior, and culture. As a part of the American Anthropological Association, EAS is interested in helping students present their research at our annual meeting and building ties across scientific sub-disciplines within the diverse field of anthropology.
