Urbanization is characterized by increased population size and density, and is frequently assumed to produce negative biological effects. However, the relationship between urbanization and human “health” requires careful examination given the heterogeneity that exists within and between urban contexts. Studies of contemporary urbanization have found both positive and negative outcomes, which likely have parallels in past human societies..This volume is unique as there is no current bioarchaeological book addressing urbanization, despite various studies of urbanization having been conducted. Collectively, this volume provides a more holistic understanding of the relationships between urbanization and various aspectsof human population health. The insight gained from this volume will provide not only a better understanding of urbanization in our past, but it will also have potential implications for those studying urbaniz | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | local ecological and sociocultural conditions; isotopic data, skeletal markers of stress and disease; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-53417-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-53419-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-53417-2Series ISSN 2567-6776 Series E-ISSN 2567-6814 | issn_series | 2567-6776 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
