A comprehensive study of the microevolution of Caribbean
populations of African descent, this 2006 book reviews the
conditions endured by the slaves during their passage and in the
plantations and how these conditions may have affected their own
health and that of their descendants. Providing an evolutionary
framework for understanding the epidemiology of common modern-day
diseases such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, it also looks
at infectious diseases and their effect on the genetic make-up of
Afro-Caribbean populations. Also covered are population genetics
studies that have been used to understand the microevolutionary
pathways for various populations, and demographic characteristics
including the relationships between migration, family type and
fertility. Ending with a case study of the Afro-Caribbean
population of Limon, Costa Rica, this book is an essential resource
for researchers working in biological anthropology, demography, and
epidemiology, and for those interested in the African diaspora in
the New World."
