A landmark work in demographic anthropology, Demography of the Dobe !Kung presents a meticulous population study of the !Kung San people of the Dobe area in the Kalahari Desert of Botswana. Nancy Howell draws on years of fieldwork to deliver a rigorous quantitative analysis of birth rates, mortality, fertility, and population structure among one of the world's last remaining hunter-gatherer societies. The work argues convincingly that the !Kung offer a rare and invaluable window into the demographic patterns of pre-agricultural human populations, challenging many assumptions held by historical demographers. Published as part of the Population and Social Structure: Advances in Historical Demography series, this volume stands as an essential reference for anthropologists, demographers, and anyone seeking to understand the population dynamics of foraging societies.
