History
editHomo is the successor of Zeitschrift für Rassenkunde, also founded and edited by Eickstedt.
Zeitschrift für Rassenkunde
editIn 1935, Egon Freiherr von Eickstedt started a German journal Zeitschrift für Rassenkunde[2] (lit. 'Journal for Racial Studies'). It continued until 1944.[2]
Homo: Internationale Zeitschrift für die vergleichende Forschung am Menschen
editAfter the World War II, in 1949,[2] Eickstedt established a new journal Homo, Internationale Zeitschrift für die vergleichende Forschung am Menschen[1] as the successor of the Zeitschrift für Rassenkunde.[2] The title Homo (the name of the human genus) was chosen to avoid terms suspicious of racism.[3]
Homo: Journal of Comparative Human Biology
editIn 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.[4] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal had a 2018 impact factor of 0.788.[5]
From Volume 70 (2019) the journal is published by E. Schweizerbart Science Publishers, quarterly (four issues, formerly 6, but in a larger sub-A4 format). Homo is planned to be a gold Open Access journal from volume 73 (2022).[6]
