Ethnobiology is a field dedicated to the scientific study of how humans dynamically interact with their environments. Drawing from archaeology, geography, population biology, cultural anthropology, and half a dozen other disciplines, the field of ethnobiology is a poster child for multidisciplinary thinking. Lucky for us, the Society of Ethnobiology has just published the talks from its most recent conference online. Here, through abstracts and podcasts, Scout readers can learn about the early domestication of squash in the Americas, mother's knowledge of traditional home remedies in Ecuador, and many other topics. The 2013 conference highlights are also available on the page, along with Photo and Video Galleries, and information about the Society.
