The Evolutionary Biology of the Human Pelvis
Synthesizes and re-examines the evolution of the human pelvis, which sits at the interface between locomotion and childbirth.
World Archaeoprimatology
The first compendium of archaeoprimatological studies, covering past relationships between humans and nonhuman primates across the world.
Patterns of Human Growth
Discusses the biocultural and evolutionary factors that direct growth, and intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting individual development.
Evolution, Ecology and Conservation of Lorises and Pottos'
The first book to present the latest discoveries on the behaviour, ecology and evolutionary biology of lorises and pottos.
The Biodemography of Subsistence Farming
An exploration of preindustrial agriculture that applies insights from biodemography, physiological ecology, and household demography.
The Colobines
Covering colobine biology, behaviour, ecology and conservation, this book summarises current knowledge of this fascinating group of primates.
Growing Up in the Ice Age
It is estimated that in prehistoric societies children comprised at least forty to sixty-five percent of the population, yet by default, our ancestral landscapes are peopled by adults who hunt, gather, fish, knap tools and make art. But these adults were also parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles (however they would have codified these kin relationships) who had to make space physically, emotionally, intellectually, and cognitively for the infants, children and adolescents around them. The economic, social, and political roles of Paleolithic children are often understudied because they are assumed to be unknowable or negligible. Drawing on the most recent data from the cognitive sciences a...
Human Behavioral Ecology
A comprehensive introduction to the latest theory and empirical research in the field of human behavioral ecology.
The Bioarchaeology of Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide today, but are not just a modern phenomenon. To explore the deep roots of CVDs in human history, this book, for the first time, brings together bioarchaeological evidence from different periods, as old as 5000 BC, and geographic locations from Alaska to Northern Africa. Experts in their fields showcase the powerful tool set available to bioarchaeology, which allows a more comprehensive reconstruction of the human past through evidence for disease. The tools include aDNA and histological analyses and digital imaging techniques for studying skeletal and mummified human remains. The insights gained from these studies are not only of value to historical research but also demonstrate how the science of archaeological human remains can provide the long view of the history of disease and contributes to modern biomedical research within the context of evolutionary medicine.
The Anthropology of the Fetus
As a biological, cultural, and social entity, the human fetus is a multifaceted subject which calls for equally diverse perspectives to fully understand. Anthropology of the Fetus seeks to achieve this by bringing together specialists in biological anthropology, archaeology, and cultural anthropology. Contributors draw on research in prehistoric, historic, and contemporary sites in Europe, Asia, North Africa, and North America to explore the biological and cultural phenomenon of the fetus, raising methodological and theoretical concerns with the ultimate goal of developing a holistic anthropology of the fetus.
