Animal-herding (pastoralism) is a subsistence strategy that is
practised by populations of low-producing ecosystems worldwide.
Increasingly, it is vanishing due to land pressure and ecological
degradation, particularly in the developing world. While previous
books have examined the social, cultural and economic dimensions of
the pastoral way of life, there has been little systematic
examination of the biology and health of pastoral groups. The Human
Biology of Pastoral Populations fills this gap by drawing together
our knowledge of the biology, population structure and ecology of
herding populations. It investigates how pastoral populations adapt
to limited and variable food availability, the implications of the
herding way of life for reproductive patterns, population structure
and genetic diversity and the impacts of ongoing social and
ecological changes on the health and well-being of these
populations. This volume will be of broad interest to scholars in
anthropology, human biology, genetics and demography.
