Publisher's Synopsis
Southern Africa is of special interest to the human biologist. It was the home of early hominids, and is the present home of the Khoisan. In Southern Africa, the study of the effects of racial admixture on a variety of traits and in a range of contrasting ecosystems is possible, as are predictions of the effects of present-day industrialization on human and other aspects of ecology. This book describes the peoples of Southern Africa in their biological settings, exploring the interactions between the various human populations, without assuming any sharp demarcations between races.
