It emphasizes modern and controversial topics and prides itself in fast review and rapid online publication. The range of subjects includes:
- paleobiology and taxonomy,
- paleobiogeography,
- evolutionary processes and patterns,

Based on the growing ethical concerns surrounding Myanmar (Burmese) amber is has been decided that Historical Biology will be placing a moratorium on publishing papers on this research topic. For further information on this please read this letter from the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology.
