Hybrid Communities (eBook, ePUB)

Biosocial Approaches to Domestication and Other Trans-species Relationships
Redaktion: Stépanoff, Charles; Vigne, Jean-Denis

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Domestication challenges our understanding of human-environment relationships because it blurs the dichotomy between what is artificial and what is natural. In domestication, biological evolution, environmental change, anthropological trajectories and sociocultural choices are inextricably interconnected. Domestication is essentially a hybrid phenomenon that has not, up until now, been explored with hybrid scientific approaches.

Hybrid Communities: Biosocial Approaches to Domestication and Other Trans-species Relationships attempts for the first time to explore domestication viewed from across disciplines both in its origins and as an ongoing process.

Jean-Denis Vigne is an archaeologist (Centre national de la recherche scientifique, Muséum national d'Histoire naturelles, Sorbonne Universités, France). His research interests lie in archaeozoology, focused on interaction dynamics between animals and human societies, namely domestication, since the last hunters to the preindustrial farmer societies, mostly in the Mediterranean area, Southwest Asia and Central Asia and China.
