Why become a member?

ASHB is a professional society representing those working in the area of human biology in the southern hemisphere. Society members represent staff and students at universities running human biology and biological anthropology courses, as well as non-university organisations.

​The annual ASHB Scientific Conference is a vital forum for the exchange of ideas and development of collaborations, and an opportunity for students to become involved with others actively engaged in the discipline.
