The American Journal of Biological Anthropology is the official journal of the AABA. Started as a quarterly in 1918 by the AABA's founding organizer, Ales Hrdlicka, the AJBA is currently published monthly by John Wiley & Sons. It prints over a hundred original scientific papers each year, as well as the abstracts and proceedings from the AABA's annual meetings and other official AABA documents and notices.  To submit a manuscript online, authors can visit the Wiley site: AJBA Online Manuscript Submissions.
