dc.description.abstractHuman biology research in the 21st century takes on a whole new meaning with an improved range of methodological, ethical, and technological advancements. Human biologists working in diverse sub- and inter-disciplinary areas now have at their disposal access to more efficient technical toolkits than ever before, producing data that can be rapidly shared through open access platforms. However, we also face challenges with the ever-increasing presence of artificial intelligence (AI), and continued ethical concerns around ‘helicopter research’ using human personal and tissue data in developing countries. Anthropological Review (AR), the flagship journal of the Polish Anthropological Society (PTA), is an open access journal with a long history of publishing inter-disciplinary human biology research and continued commitment to sharing high quality findings. In this piece, as PTA is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025, and as the editorial board of AR with a new Editor-in-Chief, and the President of PTA, we outline the stance of AR on key issues in today’s human biology research. We focus on open access, early career researcher opportunities, AI, the need for multi-methodological approaches and inter-disciplinarity, and commitment to the application of ethical framework in human biology research featured in our journal.en
dc.description.abstractBadania nad biologią człowieka w XXI wieku nabierają zupełnie nowego znaczenia, dzięki wykorzystaniu postępów badawczych w obszarze metodologii, etyki czy technologii. Biolodzy zajmujący się badaniem człowieka zarówno w obszarze poszczególnych poddyscyplin, jak i z wykorzystaniem badań interdyscyplinarnych, mają teraz dostęp do najnowocześniejszego sprzętu laboratoryjnego oraz zestawów narzędzi technicznych i informatycznych. Umożliwiają one gromadzenie danych, które można szybko udostępniać za pośrednictwem platform o otwartym dostępie. Stajemy jednak również przed wyzwaniami związanymi ze stale rosnącą obecnością sztucznej inteligencji (AI) i ciągłymi obawami etycznymi dotyczącymi uprawiania nauki neukolonialnej z wykorzystaniem danych osobowych i tkankowych ludzi w krajach rozwijających się. „Anthropological Review” (AR), sztandarowe czasopismo Polskiego Towarzystwa Antropologicznego (PTA), to czasopismo o otwartym dostępie, z długą historią publikowania interdyscyplinarnych badań z zakresu biologii człowieka i stałym zaangażowaniem w udostępnianie wysokiej jakości wyników. W niniejszym artykule, jako redakcja AR z nowym redaktorem naczelnym, i porzewodniczącym PTA, przedstawiamy stanowisko AR w kluczowych kwestiach dotyczących współczesnych badań nad biologią człowieka. Koncentrujemy się na otwartym dostępie, możliwościach dla młodych naukowców, sztucznej inteligencji, potrzebie stosowania podejścia multimetodologicznego i interdyscyplinarnego oraz zaangażowania w stosowanie ram etycznych w badaniach nad biologią człowieka, o których mowa w naszym czasopiśmie.pl
