The scientific interests of the International Association of Physiological Anthropology range from genetic variation to ergonomics, with members involved in research on lifestyle systems and environmental influences on health.

Beijing 2012 will be the first IAPA Scientific Meeting to be held in China, following successful Congresses in Japan, Germany, Croatia, South Korea, UK, USA, The Netherlands and Australia. The Inter-Congress will include invited and proffered papers organized around a series of subject themes associated with the rapid growth of mega-cities world-wide.

A Younger Researchers Colloquium will be included for colleagues presenting their work for the first time before an international audience.
