2017 China Primatology and Anthropology Young Scholars Forum
2017 China Primatology and Anthropology Young Scholars Forum
July 9-13, 2017, Guangzhou
[First round notice]
This forum takes non-human primates and human as subjects, concerning about primates and human evolution,zoo-archeology and so on. We invite primatologists and anthropologists both in China and abroad to give lectures and academic reports. We call PhD students in related field to join in the Forum and introduce their study. It will create interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation chances, improve research theories and methods, enhance young scholars’ academic ability. The forum is aimed at building up a interdisciplinary platform for young scholars who research in primates and human adaptive evolution, and promote study field of primatology and bio-anthropology.
