Abstract: | As a conclusion, this paper reviews briefly the content of the volume. The wealth of demographic data has not been adequately
exploited in anthropology; this is why this publication is valuable in showing attempts to apply demographic data in a variety
of anthropological problems. This symposium has explored many interesting points which we recall here. Yet it has also opened
up a whole range of further questions on the material presented as well as in this broad field. Several directions of research
could be developed, for instance, testing among human populations, over long periods, the ecological thoughts of ecosystems
evolving as a cascade of instabilities, rather than a succession of equilibrium states. Let us also recall the pervasive nature
of demographic facts in topics such as the energy cycle or the genetic structure and evolution of human populations. |
