The American Association of Biological Anthropologists (AABA) is an international group based in the United States which affirms itself as a professional society of biological anthropologists. The organization sponsors two peer-reviewed science journals published by Wiley Publishing: the American Journal of Biological Anthropology and the Yearbook of Biological Anthropology. The Association was formerly called the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AAPA), but changed its name to reflect the modern biological framework of the discipline after a series of membership votes between 2018 and 2020.
