Neuroanthropology – 2011 Highlights

The last year was a really good one for us here at Neuroanthropology – our first full year as part of PLoS Blogs, a lot of great writing, and a vivid sense that anthropology online is really developing into a robust arena.

Here is a quick run-down of the most read 2011 posts by Greg and by Daniel, as well as a selection of other notable posts. Enjoy, and I hope 2012 is off to a great start for all of you.
