The International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological
Sciences IUAES wasestablished on August 23, 1948, when it merged,
in fact, with the International Congress of Anthropological and
Ethnological Sciences ICAES, which was founded in 1934. The
latter was the product ofvarious Congresses ofAnthropological
Sciences, starting in 1865.
The IUAES is one of the member organizations of the International
Social Science Council ISSC and also of the International Council
for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies ICPHS. The IUAES is also a
member of the International Council of Scientific Unions ICSU.
Its aim is to enhance exchange and communication among scholars of
all regions of the world, in a collective effort to expand human
knowledge. In this way, it hopes to contribute to a better
understanding of human society, and to a sustainable future based
on harmony between nature and culture. The IUAES once noted a draft
statement on the future of world anthropology in “Current
Anthropology” 1979: “The scope of
anthropology in terms of areas of human interest includes such
critical issues of the contemporary world as problems of
environmental management, pressure for the progressive reduction of
disparities and the restructuring of the world order, the future of
the nation-state, ethnic pluralism and the future of national
society, and the harmonization of the roles and functions
ofinstitutions with the basic and derived biological and psychic
drives of man.” The IUAES itself consists of national and
institutional organizations in more than 50 countries in all parts
of the world, and also includes some hundreds of individual
members. The research effort and involvement of the IUAES is
principally arranged by its scientific commissions, of which,
currently, there are twenty-seven, and each of which concentrates
on some areas of anthropological interest. They included ethnic
relations, aging and the aged, women, children, youth, migration,
epidemiology and Aids,tourism, primatology, linguistics, and so
on.
