MerrillSinger, PhD, University of Connecticut The COVID-19 pandemic brought enhanced global attention to the anthropological concept of syndemics. A pivotal moment occurred when Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet , one of the worlds highest-impact academic journals, declared: COVID-19 is not a pandemic. It is a syndemic.

A Glimpse into Europe’s Earliest Settlers Over 45,000 years ago, small groups of modern humans roamed the icy expanse of Ice Age Europe.

The genetic legacy of Neanderthals persists in modern humans, with 1-2% of non-African genomes composed of Neanderthal DNA—a determination made through comprehensive sequencing and comparison of ancient and modern genomes. By analyzing distinctive genetic markers, researchers quantified this percentage, shedding light on the enduring impact of interbreeding events in human evolutionary history.

This Special Issue grapples with the challenges of working with, on, and alongside trauma in anthropology. It shares experiences from doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, early career scholars, and established academics to reflect on our practices. We consider the needs of students, research participants, and our own wellbeing, and consider new ways of engaging traumatising topics.
