Sommario/riassunto |
|
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. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Because she is made of delicate material, the pretty China Cat has to be very careful, so she doesn't usually get to play the rough games that |

her fellow toys do in the hours when the toy shop where they all live is closed. But one day, when a crisis occurs, China Cat gets help from an unexpected rescuer. |
