Humans and figs form hybrid communities within the context of
anthropogenic landscapes, supported by biocultural mutualisms
driven by traits of Ficus species and people’s imagination and
practices, and where humans also positively influence Ficus species
ecology. Fig Trees and Humans examines the interactions between the
biology and ecology of the genus Ficus and how humans use and think
of Ficus species across the tropics and in the Mediterranean
region. It demonstrates a high level of convergence of material and
symbolic uses of human-fig interactions that affect various aspects
of human culture, as well as the ecology of wild or cultivated
Ficus species.
