Human Migration: Biocultural Perspectives

Human Migration takes readers through population development and their respective origins to create a comprehensive picture of human migratory patterns. This book explores human migration as a major contributor to globalization that facilitates gene flow and the exchange of cultures and languages.
It also traces evolutionary success of a hybrid population, the Black Caribs, after their forced relocation from St. Vincent Island to the Bay Islands and Central America.

The volume is split into four sections: Theoretical Overview
Ancient DNA and Migration
Regional Migration
Culture and Migration: and Disease and Migration. This division allows for a seamless transition between a broad range of topics, including molecular genetics, linguistics, cultural
anthropology, history, archaeology, demography, and genetic epidemiology. Assembled by volume editors and migration specialists Mara de Lourdes Muoz-Moreno and Michael H. Crawford, Human Migration creates an opportunity for researchers, professionals, and students from different fields to review
and discuss the most recent trends and challenges surrounding migration, genetics, and anthropology.
