Summary

This volume provides up-to-date coverage of genetics and demography, fields that are closely related, but rarely combined. Now especially, they have many topics and approaches in common: the use of historical materials, a basic concern with heterogeneity, new models of vital rates with behavioral and biological components, theories for the interplay of genetic and demographic factors in the spread of disease. As a comprehensive survey of a fast-growing field, this will be a valuable source of information for a wide spectrum of professionals in genetics, population biology, biostatistics, social and economic demography, and anthropology.
