Joining the Society for the Study of Mammalian Evolution:
A print subscription to the Journal of Mammalian Evolution is included with annual membership in the SSME (at a substantial savings). Membership does not currently include access to the online version of the JME. Anyone wishing to join the Society or renew their membership should send a payment through PayPal. With PayPal, you can send funds electronically from a credit card or bank account. Login to PayPal (you must open an account if you do not already have one) and send a payment for $45 to socmammalevolution@gmail.com. In the subject line, please include your name and whether you are joining the SSME or renewing your membership. If you are joining or renewing a membership on behalf of someone else, list their name rather than your own. If you are joining the SSME, please include your current mailing address and a phone number in the body of the message. This is not necessary if you are renewing and your information has not changed since last year. You will receive an email acknowledgment once your payment has been received, typically within two weeks. You can also pay by check, though PayPal is preferred. Make your check out to the SSME for $45 and send it to the address below:
