About the Journal

Mānav: A Journal of Human Reflection is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to the comprehensive study of humanity through the discipline of anthropology. The journal serves as an intellectual forum for exploring human diversity, cultural practices, evolutionary processes, and the many ways communities construct and experience their worlds.

Established with a commitment to rigorous scholarship and reflective inquiry, Mānav embraces the four-field approach of anthropology—social-cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology—while also welcoming interdisciplinary perspectives grounded in anthropological thought. The journal features original research articles, review papers, ethnographic essays, field reports, visual anthropology pieces, theoretical discussions, and book reviews.

Mānav particularly encourages submissions that highlight indigenous knowledge systems, tribal communities, marginalized populations, and emerging issues shaping human societies. The journal values ethical research practices, methodological transparency, and culturally sensitive scholarship that advances meaningful understanding of the human condition.

Published by dedicated scholars and practitioners, Mānav follows international editorial standards and a double-blind peer review process to ensure high-quality academic contributions. The journal is committed to nurturing new voices in anthropology while supporting established researchers in presenting impactful and innovative work.

Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, student, or reader interested in the human story, Mānav: A Journal of Human Reflection invites you to join a growing community of thinkers exploring the richness and complexity of humanity in all its forms.
