Current Anthropology is a

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]
