Humans adapt to their environment through a unique amalgamation of
culture and biology. Both are intrinsic to our existence and
constitute the dual aspect of human nature. This 2008 book
addresses topics and themes exploring this close inter-relationship
by presenting principles and applications of scientific approaches
to human remains. Their appreciation within a human ecological
context, incorporating conditions of the natural environment as
well as cultural, social and political circumstances of the past,
provides the framework for the detection and interpretation of our
biocultural identity. Written for academic researchers and students
alike, Between Biology and Culture assembles chapters that
encompass topics from taphonomy to individual life histories, from
seasonality to food, from well-being to disease, from genetics to
mobility, and from body theory to forensic individualization. In
doing so, the contributions probe the potential of skeletal
analysis to look beyond the face value of observations and to
detect the biological outcomes of cultural strategies encoded in
human remains.
