As a species, we are currently experiencing dramatic shifts in our
lifestyle, family structure, health, and global contact.
Evolutionary Anthropology provides a powerful theoretical framework
to study such changes, revealing how current environments and
legacies of past selection shape human diversity. This book is the
first major review of the emerging field of Applied Evolutionary
Anthropology bringing together the work of an international group
of evolutionary scientists, addressing many of the major public
health and social issues of this century. Through a series of case
studies that span both rural and urban situations in Africa, Asia,
Europe and South America, each chapter addresses topics such as
natural resource management, health service delivery, population
growth and the emergence of new family structures, dietary, and
co-operative behaviours. The research presented identifies the
great, largely untapped, potential that Applied Evolutionary
Anthropology holds to guide the design, implementation and
evaluation of effective social and public health policy. This book
will be of interest to policy-makers and applied researchers, along
with academics and students across the biological and social
sciences.
