History

HOMO is the successor of Zeitschrift für Rassenkunde, also founded and edited by Eickstedt.

Zeitschrift für Rassenkunde

In 1935, Egon Freiherr von Eickstedt started a German journal Zeitschrift für Rassenkunde . It continued until 1944.

Homo, Internationale Zeitschrift für die vergleichende Forschung am Menschen

After the World War II, in 1949, Eickstedt established a new journal Homo, Internationale Zeitschrift für die vergleichende Forschung am Menschen[2] as the successor of the Zeitschrift für Rassenkunde.[3] The title "Homo" was chosen to avoid terms suspicious of racism.[4]

HOMO: Journal of Comparative Human Biology

In sometime, the subtitle was rename to HOMO: Journal of Comparative Human Biology.

HOMO was published by Elsevier up to and including Volume 69 (2018) on behalf of the Australasian Society for Human Biology, of which it is the official journal.[5]
