The anthropology of human reproduction is a dynamic field of research, generating new methods, types of data, and hypotheses on biological, political economic, and sociocultural factors that mediate human reproduction. Current research incorporates perspectives from archeological, biological, sociocultural, and linguistic anthropology to explore: (1) the dynamic effects of interactions among culture, class, race, and ethnicity on reproduction and reproductive health, (2) cross-cultural patterns of women's and men's experiences with assisted reproductive technologies, and (3) struggles for reproductive rights and reproductive justice within the contexts of global health programs and human rights legislation. Cross-cultural studies of sexuality and reproduction are casting new light on the evolution of sexual norms and behavior, social organization, and family structures. Long underexplored, researchers are focusing increasing attention on male physiology, sexuality, and cultural concepts of paternity as they affect human reproductive activities.
