Anthropos is a biannual multilingual[1] peer-reviewed academic journal covering anthropology, ethnology, and linguistics research. It was established in 1906 by Wilhelm Schmidt.[2]

Originally intended to publish research by Catholic missionaries, the journal quickly became one of the most influential publications in the fields of ethnology and anthropology, while maintaining its religious study origins. In 1931 Schmidt, Martin Gusinde, Paul Schebesta [de], and Wilhelm Koppers founded the Anthropos Institute, which became the journal's publisher.[2]
