The Anthropological Association for Humankind (AAfH) was established on February 27, 2021, with the primary aim of addressing contemporary challenges through a multifaceted approach involving academic scholarship, applied practice, and public intervention. The overarching goal is to foster a safer world that embraces and celebrates human differences. AAfH is dedicated to extending the applications of anthropology to unlock and leverage human potential. The organization strives to inspire excellence, tackle real-world issues, and empower individuals to realize their capabilities, thereby contributing to positive global change.

In pursuit of these objectives, AAfH delves into the impactful ways anthropological knowledge, skills, and methodologies can be applied to address a broad spectrum of challenges. These encompass human biological, social, cultural, economic, health, and climate-related issues, as well as moral, intellectual, emotional, and emerging technological problems.

The association concentrates on various applied anthropological domains, including global health, medicine, nutrition, human genetics, development, agriculture, environment, population dynamics, displacement and resettlement, business and industry, education, aging, engineering, architecture, design, and the alleviation of poverty, suffering, corruption, addiction, suicides, crimes, human crises, depravity, and disasters. The intent is to comprehensively impact every facet of human life, working towards an enhanced human condition.
