Many undergraduate and postgraduate courses now emphasise the value of studying human populations using theoretical frameworks and methodologies from different traditional disciplines. Human Population Dynamics introduces such frameworks and methodologies whilst demonstrating how changes in human population structure can be addressed from several different academic perspectives. As such, the book contains contributions from world-renowned researchers in demography, social and biological anthropology, genetics, biology, sociology, ecology, history and human geography. In particular, the contributors emphasise the lability of many population structures and boundaries, as viewed from their area of expertise. This text is aimed at undergraduate students, graduates and academic researchers from any academic discipline which considers human populations.Biosocial Society symposium series ;14.PopulationCongressesSociobiologyCongressesSocial evolutionCongressesDemographyCongressesPopulationSociobiologySocial evolutionDemography304.6Macbeth Helen M.Collinson Paul1969-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910783123403321Human population dynamics3807097UNINA
