Die Paläontologische Gesellschaft ist eine internationale Vereinigung für den deutschsprachigen Raum. Sie wurde 1912 in Greifswald gegründet. Ziele der Gesellschaft sind die Förderung der Paläontologie und der Kontakt unter den Paläontologen, Geowissenschaftlern und interessierten Laien aller Länder. Wesentliches Ziel ist auch, die Paläontologie der Öffentlichkeit besser verständlich zu machen. Die politische Aufgabe der Gesellschaft ist, die Interessen der Paläontologie gegenüber den Verantwortlichen in Politik, Hochschulen, Wirtschaft, Behörden und Medien zu vertreten. Die Mitglieder der Gesellschaft sind Wissenschaftler und Studierende der Paläontologie, Geologie und Biologie (sowie anderer Fächer) und interessierte Laien und Sammler. Neben der erdgesteinsgeschichtlich-historischen Betrachtung der Entstehung der Erde steht die Evolution des Lebens im Vordergrund der Forschung der Mitglieder der Gesellschaft. ...

By joining you become part of this academic community. The biennial Congress of ESEB is one of the largest scientific meetings in broadly defined evolutionary biology. Members are entitled to substantially reduced registration fees. The society also offers travel stipends to support participation of student members from economically disadvantaged countries. The membership of ESEB includes a personal on-line subscription the Society's journal, the Journal of Evolutionary Biology. The journal has an Open Access option, and authors who are members of the Society benefit from a 50 % discount on the Open Access fee for their papers (US$ 1500 as of August 2009). Members are also entitled to a 25 % discount on all books published by Wiley-Blackwell and a 20 % discount on Ecology & Evolution books from Oxford University Press, as well as other promotional offers. The Society supports young researchers, e.g., by sponsoring the annual meeting of PhD students in evolutionary biology, and by awarding the John Maynard Smith Prize to outstanding young evolutionary biologists. It also supports outreach initiatives aiming at popularizing evolutionary biology to general public and countering creationism, especially in non English-speaking countries. By joining, you can support these initiatives. The ESEB is a platform of integration for evolutionary biologists from different countries. Endorsement and logistic support of the ESEB is particularly important for local evolutionary biologists in countries with little tradition and few researchers in evolution. As an active member you could also receive endorsement and support for evolution-related initiatives in your country. ... [Information of the supplier]
Physical anthropology is a biological science that deals with the adaptations, variability, and evolution of human beings and their living and fossil relatives. Because it studies human biology in the context of human culture and behavior, physical anthropology is also a social science. The AAPA is the world's leading professional organization for physical anthropologists. Formed by 83 charter members in 1930, the AAPA now has an international membership of over 1,700. The Association's annual meetings draw more than a thousand scientists and students from all over the world. ... [Information of the supplier]
