With the present investigation we have tried to make a diagnosis of the state of the anthropological research in the first two decades of the 21st century in Venezuela. To do this, we consulted the opinion of Venezuelan anthropologists who do or have done research in Venezuela, both in the research institutes in the centre of the country and in the Andes, Zulia and Guayana. Likewise, the scientific production of the last eighteen years represented in the two main anthropological magazines in Venezuela: Anthropological Bulletin and Anthropological Magazine was taken into consideration, since the publications reflect the interests and the state of research at national level. Although anthropological investigations are still taking place in the country, they are made with great difficulties and little budget, so the future of the next generations of Venezuelan anthropologists is quite uncertain. The policies of promotion and incentive to scientific research have diminished notoriously since the second decade of the 21st century, an issue that is evident in the collapse of universities and the massive migration of researchers.
