While using the theoretical foundation and methodological techniques of mechanical engineering to understand living creatures is not unique to biological anthropologists, in 2016, the authors began discussing an integration of anthropology and engineering that is more than simply a borrowing of ideas of one discipline from another. We imagined—and continue to develop—this vision of anthroengineering. But the first step in expanding our ideas beyond our inner circles was to host the world's first symposium on the topic. At the annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (now the American Association of Biological Anthropologists) in the spring of 2019, we brought together a diverse group of biological anthropologists to interrogate this vision. Not only was the symposium well attended (despite its 8.00 start time), but more importantly, the room was filled with lively intellectual discussions about the projects being presented and how engineering and anthropology could be further combined to answer new, exciting research questions.
