Hunter-gatherer demography: past and present.

Abstract

This publication contains 15 papers on the demography of hunter-gatherer populations. The papers were presented at the Fifth International Conference on Hunting and Gathering Societies held in Darwin Australia in August-September 1988 and are grouped into two sections: the first involving the reconstruction of past populations and the second concerned with the demography of contemporary populations of hunters and gatherers. Most of the papers deal with populations in Australia. (ANNOTATION)
