Accepted Paper:

Human nature: the premise and promise of anthropology  
Nigel Rapport (St. Andrews University)

Paper short abstract:

The issue of human nature—what it is to be human—provides a prime site for ‘anthropology in the world’: a means to engage with debates beyond the academy and to show anthropology’s special contribution. It also provides a means to anchor a discipline whose ‘writing of the human’ encompasses the ethical and aesthetic as well as the scientific, the individually particular as well as the universally general, the personal alongside the social, cultural, historical, practical and biological.
