Leaving “home” to pursue fieldwork is a necessity but also a rite of passage for many biological anthropology/human biology scholars. Field-based scientists prepare for the potential changes to activity patterns, sleep schedules, social interactions, and more that come with going to the field. However, returning from extended fieldwork and the reverse-culture shock, discomforts, and mental shifts that are part of the return process can be jarring, sometimes traumatic experiences. A failure to acknowledge and address such experiences can compromise the health and wellbeing of those returning.

来来回回：从田野回来的生物社会动力学

离开“家”进行田野调查是必要的，也是许多生物人类学/人类生物学学者的必经之路。实地科学家为前往实地所带来的活动模式、睡眠时间表、社交互动等可能发生的变化做好准备。然而，从扩展的实地工作中返回，以及作为返回过程一部分的逆向文化冲击、不适和精神转变可能会令人不快，有时甚至是创伤性的经历。不承认和解决此类经历可能会损害返回者的健康和福祉。
