"This book reviews population genetics studies that have been used to understand the microevolutionary pathways for various populations and investigates their demographic characteristics including the relationships between migration, family type and fertility. Ending with a case study of the Afro-Caribbean population of Limon, Costa Rica, this book will be a resource for researchers working in biological anthropology, demography, and epidemiology, and for those interested in the African Diaspora in the New World."--Jacket.
