Explore how human diversity evolves under natural forces across time and place.
This provocative examination traces how race, environment, and culture shape who we are, and why populations change as they move and adapt.
This study surveys theories of evolution, climate, pigment protection, migration, and the roles of war, trade, and technology in building modern societies. It presents a disciplined look at how scientists in the early 20th century understood human differences without assuming fixed destinies, offering context for today’s conversations about identity and difference."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by the author of 'Population' investigates the phenomenon of human migration - how, when, why and where populations have moved in the past as an indicator of how they will need to move in the future. It considers the overall evolution of the species, the role of war, famine, and disease, and the growth rate of the species as controls on population movement. The author cites historical examples of population movement, the ways populations interact and the ways that this interaction can affect cultures and civilizations. Using these as a measure, the book predicts that the movement of populations from the less developed world to the more developed world must necessarily continue into the future as an inevitable and constant factor of human evolution, to prevent overpopulation, reduce poverty and avoid international conflict.
