This prize honors the work of Sherwood Washburn Emeritus Professor, University of California, Berkeley. His wide-ranging contributions to anthropology were among the most salient and visionary of the past century. They epitomized the application of scientific method and multidisciplinary synthesis. Washburn's research and writing provided fresh perspectives on the human species. His work encompassed field observations of free-ranging primates in Asia and Africa, studies in human and animal anatomy and laboratory experiments. His insights made every subject he touched seem new: the study of race, human psychology, the education process, aggression and conflict, language and the brain.

A number of Washburn's papers have been reprinted in a volume dedicated to him: "The New Physical Anthropology. Science, Humanism, and Critical Reflection" (1999), edited by Shirley Strum, Donald Lindburg, and David Hamburg. Prentice Hall, publisher.
