Culture, biology, and anthropological demography/ Eric Abella Roth.

Call Number	304.6
Author	Roth, Eric Abella, author.
Title	Culture, biology, and anthropological demography/ Eric Abella Roth. Culture, Biology, & Anthropological Demography
Physical Description	1 online resource (xiii, 217 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Series	New perspectives on anthropological and social demography ; 3
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Summary	Two distinctive approaches to the study of human demography exist within anthropology today: anthropological demography and human evolutionary ecology. The first stresses the role of culture in determining population parameters, while the second posits that demographic rates reflect adaptive behaviors that are the products of natural selection. Both sub-disciplines have achieved notable successes, but each has ignored and been actively disdainful of the other. This text attempts a rapprochement of anthropological demography and human evolutionary ecology through recognition of common research topics and the construction of a broad theoretical framework incorporating both cultural and biological motivation. Both these approaches are utilized to search for demographic strategies in varied cultural and temporal contexts ranging from African pastoralists through North American post-industrial societies. As such this book is relevant to cultural and biological anthropologists, demographers, sociologists, and historians.
Subject	DEMOGRAPHIC ANTHROPOLOGY. HUMAN ECOLOGY. HUMAN BEHAVIOR. MATE SELECTION. SOCIAL ECOLOGY.
