This year's volume presents six papers with topics in biological, archaeological
and cultural anthropology. Volume 31 opens with an article by Janaki
Meyappan addressing how African-American mothers of children with sickle
cell disease react to the diagnosis and manage healthcare of their children. The
next article is by Nishant Hasmukh Shah and discusses the role of cooperative
breeding in different mammalian species and how it affects social behavior.
Immediately following, Miranda Callaway's article provides an index for distinguishing
between Canis latrans and Canis familiaris, while Eric D. Peters gives
us the results of his typological research on shell artifacts in southeast Florida.
Asa H. Helm gives us a delightful comparison of Franz Boas and Bronislaw
Malinowski, with a detailed account of their ethnographic work. The last article
is by Shauna Ertolacci, and it addresses the political and economical influences
on conservation in Ecuador.
This years journal concludes with an updated list of chapters and advisors, followed
by a recognition of past award recipients of the National Scholarship
Award competition and the National Dean's List Scholarship. The Journal staff
welcomes all of the recent chapters and all new members to the society.
