About Us
Welcome to The Human Edit, where anthropology comes alive. This is more than just a blog, it’s a space to explore, question, and connect with what it means to be human. From the depths of ancient history to the complexities of modern life, our goal is to bridge the gap between science and society, bringing the fascinating world of anthropology to anyone curious about the human story.
What We’re About
At The Human Edit, we believe anthropology isn’t just an academic discipline; it’s a lens through which we can understand ourselves and each other. By diving into topics like human biology, culture, technology, and fieldwork stories, we aim to spark conversations that challenge perspectives and inspire new ways of thinking. This is a place for lifelong learners, the intellectually curious, and anyone who’s ever wondered what ties us all together.
Who’s Behind the Blog
My name is Aiden Eylward, and I’m the mind behind The Human Edit. As a Biological Anthropologist specializing in Forensics, and a passionate advocate for exploring the human condition, I created this space to share anthropological knowledge, spark thought, and highlight the fascinating discoveries I’ve made along the way. Whether it’s studying skeletal biology, diving into cultural practices, or experimenting with cutting-edge technology, my goal is to make anthropology accessible and engaging for everyone.
When I’m not working on my own research or field projects, I’m probably dreaming up ways to merge art and science, whether through 3D technologies or community storytelling initiatives. Anthropology isn’t just my field of study—it’s my way of seeing and engaging with the world.
What You’ll Find Here
Our content is divided into four key categories, each designed to shine a light on different aspects of anthropology:
- Human Biology & Evolution: Explore the scientific side of humanity, from human evolution to the biology that shapes our lives.
- Culture & Society: Dive into the richness of human diversity and the social structures that define us.
- Technology & Methods: Discover the tools and techniques that make modern anthropology possible, from innovative technologies (my particular forte) to time-tested methodologies.
- Dirt Filled Diary: Get up close and personal with my stories from the field and editorial musings that bring anthropology to life.
