Pleiotropy is hosting the latest Carnival of Evolution, rounding up all sorts of evolution-related blogging.

This edition moves through a great set of topics: human evolution, paleontology, natural selection, molecular evolution, creationism, perspective, and even books. That’s a lot of evolution!

So go evolve over to the Carnival of Evolution #16.

Neuroskeptic is hosting the 76th edition of the mind/brain carnival Encephalon. From blindness and vision science all the way to the chaos of the brain, it’s a rich edition. In between you can sample violin prodigies, a critique of the “neurolaw” movement, drastic addiction treatments, and more.

Afarensis is hosting the 76th edition of Four Stone Hearth, rounding up the best anthropology blogging of the past fortnight.

This is an excellent edition – neuroarchaeology, Catalhoyuk, an anthropologist in District 9, gene regulation, gender and athletics, and more. Great stuff.

Adam Henne, and his great new blog natures/cultures (it has the tagline, “get with the nature fetish”), is hosting the 74th edition of the anthropology carnival Four Stone Hearth.

It goes from big busts (yes, let your fetish run wild) all the way to bodies and pots. Plus penis enlargers and lucha libre thrown in for fun. A lot of burning material this time!

So head over to the 74th edition of Four Stone Hearth.

Our colleague Lisa Wynn has put up a massive post on academic publishing based on a workshop she did this past week (that is, Lisa was the workshop giver). Especially for anthropologists, it’s a great resource, with many a suggestion for how to get your next great ethnographic of anthropological masterwork into print.

Surf over to Culture Matters to check it out: Academic Publishing Workshop for grad students and more.

There’s discussions of all the traditional subjects (journals, book chapters, books) as well as a consideration of newer forms of reaching the anthropological public.
