This book provides a view on the interrelationship between cultural strategies and their biological outcomes. It combines an ecosystems approach with cultural anthropological behavioural concepts. Series: Ecological Studies. Num Pages: 319 pages, 7 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: RNT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 21. Weight in Grams: 643.
This book explores the relationship between cultural strategies and their biological outcomes, combining for the first time an ecosystems approach with cultural anthropological, archaeological and evolutionary behavioural concepts. Beginning with resource use and food procurement behaviour, the text examines major subsistence modes, the circumstances and dynamics of large-scale subsistence change, the effect of social differentiation on resource use and the effects of subsistence behaviour on population development and regulation.
