'For those who see the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies as an unchanging institution in a changing environment, a consideration of the role of the Institute in Aboriginal health research provides informed evidence to the contrary. I arrived at the Institute in 1974—an editor's privilege to reminisce—to work as an osteologist, later palaeoecologist. This position, seen as complementary to a position in human osteology funded at the University of Queensland, had been proposed to Council by the Human Biology Committee.' (Editorial introduction)
