Coming of Age : Ethics and Biological Anthropology in the 21st Century

Coming of Age is a collection of the AnthroEthics 2021 conference proceedings, featuring additional chapters that, although not presented at the conference, align with its theme and contribute to the global perspective on ethical issues in biological anthropology. This approach enhances the book's international profile and ensures diverse viewpoints. The AnthroEthics 2021 Conference took place online on the BioantTalks channel and continues to be accessible for viewing. The conference aimed to be inclusive by aggregating the work of early-career and senior scholars worldwide on issues related to ethics and anthropology. The topics explored ranged from social, cultural, biological and applied anthropology, with participants from Mexico, Brazil, Poland, Lithuania, the UK, the USA, Portugal, and Switzerland. The diversity of talks, their content, and the overall public interest beyond academic boundaries were the foundation for developing this book. It expands on ethical issues related to biological anthropology

, not being limited to a single research topic (e.g., human remains and living communities). Furthermore, it combines views from people working in various countries and continents, allowing for a worldview on ethical discussions within biological anthropology. Also, it is not focused on a hierarchical academic perspective alone, as it aggregates contributions from non-academic professionals and mature students, early-careers, and senior scholars.
