  American Anthropological Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
American Anthropological Association (AAA) was founded in 1902 and claims to be, "the world's largest professional organization of individuals interested in anthropology".
This increase in representation reflects the growing diversity of the discipline, which is viewed by many as a source of strength for the Association and for American anthropology as a whole.
The purposes of the Association shall be to advance anthropology as the science that studies humankind in all its aspects, through archeological, biological, ethnological, and linguistic research; and to further the professional interests of American anthropologists; including the dissemination of anthropological knowledge and its use to solve human problems.

 American Anthropological Association Statement on "Race"
It does not reflect a consensus of all members of the AAA, as individuals vary in their approaches to the study of "race." We believe that it represents generally the contemporary thinking and scholarly positions of a majority of anthropologists.
The American experience with immigrants from hundreds of different language and cultural backgrounds who have acquired some version of American culture traits and behavior is the clearest evidence of this fact.
Stemming from past AAA actions designed to address public misconceptions on race and intelligence, the need was apparent for a clear AAA statement on the biology and politics of race that would be educational and informational.

AAA President Howells wrote Johnson (3/3/51), that "the CIA proposal is ideal," and that under this proposal the CIA would keep a copy of the computerized roster data for their own uses.

Association records for this period do not contain a copy of a completed roster, and public and private searches for copies of the final roster have thus far been fruitless.

 Presentation at the American Anthropological Association
This paper does not evaluate the arguments for and against the American ritual of “routine infant circumcision.” The moral and legal justifications for stopping this practice are sufficiently presented elsewhere (see Recourses).
Most lawsuits, until recently, have been tort actions focusing on recovering damages, either for cutting a child without permission, or because the circumcision was a “botched job” that resulted in infection, loss of the penis, the need for additional surgery, death, and so on.
Circumcision also violates the American Academy of Pediatrics’ bioethics committee’s guidelines to seek fully informed consent on any invasive medical procedure and only allow proxy consent when there is an immediate urgency for the procedure and the patient cannot give consent.
