Most anthropologists agree that a comprehension of adaptation and
adaptive processes is central to an understanding of human
biological and behavioural systems. However, there is little
agreement among archaeologists, cultural anthropologists, and human
biologists as to what adaptation means and how it should be
analyzed. Because of this lack of a common underlying theory,
method, and perspective, the subdisciplines have tended to move
apart, and anthropology is no longer the integrated science
envisaged at its inception in the nineteenth century. In this book,
the authors-both biological and cultural anthropologists-use a
common theoretical framework based on recent evolutionary,
ecological, and anthropological theory in their analyses of
biological and social adaptive systems. Although a synthesis of the
subdisciplines of anthropology lies somewhere in the future, the
original essays in this volume are a first attempt at a unified
perspective.
