The book investigates how cultural strategies influence biological outcomes by integrating an ecosystems approach with concepts from cultural anthropology, archaeology, and evolutionary behavior. It starts with resource use and food procurement, analyzing key subsistence modes and the dynamics of large-scale changes in subsistence. Additionally, it explores how social differentiation impacts resource utilization and the repercussions of subsistence behaviors on population development and regulation.

This book explores the relationship between cultural strategies and their biological outcomes, combining for the first time an ecosystems approach with cultural anthropological, archaeological and evolutionary behavioural concepts. Beginning with resource use and food procurement behaviour, the text examines major subsistence modes, the circumstances and dynamics of large-scale subsistence change, the effect of social differentiation on resource use and the effects of subsistence behaviour on population development and regulation.
