Humans are surrounded by built objects and networks. So profoundly are humans altering their biological and physical landscapes that some have openly suggested that the proper object of anthropological study should be cyborgs rather than humans, for, as [[Donna Haraway]] says, "we are all cyborgs now".
 
  
[[What is Cyborg Anthropology?|Cyborg Anthropology]] takes the view that most of modern human life is a product of both human and non-human objects.

Welcome to CyborgAnthropology.com!

Thank you for visiting. Established in 2010, CyborgAnthropology.com began as a curated collection of curious ideas, interesting terms, and reccomended books. Our aim is to engage and inspire our readers through the fascinating world of cyborg anthropology.

This site currently has 1,005 articles for you to browse and read!

The book An Illustrated Dictionary of Cyborg Anthropology is a more portable version of some of this wiki's highlighted concepts.

What is Cyborg Anthropology?

Humans are surrounded by built objects and networks. So profoundly are humans altering their biological and physical landscapes that some have openly suggested that the proper object of anthropological study should be cyborgs rather than humans, for, as Donna Haraway says, "we are all cyborgs now".

Cyborg Anthropology takes the view that most of modern human life is a product of both human and non-human objects.

How we interact with machines and technology in many ways defines who we are. Cyborg Anthropology is a framework for understanding the effects of objects and technology on humans and culture. This site is designed to be a resource for those tools.

Anthropology, the study of humans, has traditionally concentrated on discovering the process of evolution through which the human came to be (physical anthropology), or on understanding the beliefs, languages, and behaviors of past or present human groups (archaeology, linguistics, cultural anthropology).
