"The National Academies perform an unparalleled public service by bringing together committees of experts in all areas of scientific and technological endeavor. These experts serve pro bono to address critical national issues and give advice to the federal government and the public. "I compiled the list below of NAS members who are archaeologists/paleoanthropologists, with affiliation, year of election, and area of specialty when given.
What would be the equivalent honor in other countries?
By the way, we're working on setting up a directory of SAS members by specialty.
