Current Anthropology is a peer-reviewed anthropology academic journal published by the University of Chicago Press for the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. Founded in 1959 by the anthropologist Sol Tax ( 1907-1995). Current Anthropology is one of very few journals that publishes research across all sub-disciplines of anthropology, encompassing the full range of anthropological scholarship on human cultures and on human and other primate species. Communicating across the subfields, the journal features papers in a wide variety of areas, including social, cultural, physical and linguistic anthropology as well as ethnology, ethnohistory, archaeology, prehistory and folklore. Laurence Ralph ( Princeton University) replaced Mark Aldenderfer ( University of California, Merced) as the editor-in-chief of the journal on January 1, 2019.^[1]

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 3.226, ranking it 10th out of 93 journals in the category "Anthropology".^[2]
