This handbook examines human responses to climatic and
environmental changes in the past,and their impacts on disease
patterns, nutritional status, migration, and interpersonal
violence. Bioarchaeology-the study of archaeological human
skeletons-provides direct evidence of the human experience of past
climate and environmental changes and serves as an important
complement to paleoclimate, historical, and archaeological
approaches to changes we may expect with global warming. Comprising
27 chapters from experts across a broad range of time periods and
geographical regions, this book addresses hypotheses about how
climate and environmental changes impact human health and
well-being, factors that promote resilience, and circumstances that
make migration or interpersonal violence a more likely outcome. The
volume highlights the potential relevance of bioarchaeological
analysis to contemporary challenges by organizing the chapters into
a framework outlined by the United Nation's Sustainable Development
Goals for 2030. Planning for a warmer world requires knowledge
about humans as biological organisms with a deep connection to
Earth's ecosystems balanced by an appreciation of how historical
and socio-cultural circumstances, socioeconomic inequality, degrees
of urbanization, community mobility, and social institutions play a
role in shaping long-term outcomes for human communities.
Containing a wealth of nuanced perspectives about
human-environmental relations, book is key reading for students of
environmental archaeology, bioarchaeology, and the history of
disease. By providing a longer view of contemporary challenges, it
may also interest readers in public health, public policy, and
planning.
