The Slovene Anthropological Society was established in 1992 and is registered as a research society. It conducts anthropological research on past and present cultures, languages, human development and biological variability. Its researchers also deal with human rights, law, industry, ecology, health and world population issues.

The society brings together anthropologists and other experts who work in various areas and are organised in three sections: section of biological anthropology, section of socio-cultural anthropology, section of linguistic anthropology, or section of paleoanthropology and anthropology of archaeological periods.

The society issues Anthropological Notebooks and every three years organises an international science conference Škerlj's Days, named after renowned and first professional anthropologist in Slovenia, Božo Škerlj (1893–1975). The 6th conference was held in 2010 and was devoted to the Hard Reality of Dream Society: Uses of Anthropology in Contemporary World.
