History of migration studies in biological anthropology

Article Abstract:

A study of the human biological factors in migration is based on two approaches, the first approach examines the impact of migration in relation to the changing environment and environmental plasticity, and the second approach focuses on the effect of migration on gene flow. Behavior, social relations, diets, growth, reproduction and general health are affected due to changes in the environmental conditions, which dramatically transform the lives of the people.

Rural-to-urban migration in Latin America: an update and thoughts on the model

Article Abstract:

The study of rural-to-urban migrants in Latin America shows that fertility of migrants is intermediate between rural and urban populations and migrants suffer higher rates of mortality and morbidity initially than long-term urban residents. The results show that the rural-to-urban migration model is useful for understanding the biological consequences of urbanization in Latin America.

Kin-structured migration: causes and consequences

Article Abstract:

The fundamental principle structuring human and animal population and behavioral interactions using individuals is kinship. The causes of kin-structured migration [KSM] lie in the common tendency for kin to associate and cooperate, while the evolutionary consequences of KSM start with increased genetic variation among populations.
