Biogeography of Humanity, Biological Diversity, and Conservation Biogeography
View through CrossRef
This chapter covers the biogeography of humanity, biological diversity, and conservation biogeography. It discusses the ecogeographic patterns of humans. This revolves around the evolutionary responses of the world's indigenous human populations to varying environmental conditions. Understanding the impacts of humanity on biological diversity provides insights and a geographic context in terms of effective plans to conserve the distributions and natural character of native biotas. The chapter then explores the dynamic biogeography, ecogeography and island biogeography of humanity, referencing how continental indigenous populations exhibit morphological patterns consistent with other ecogeographic patterns. It also provides an overview of the biodiversity crisis and conservation biogeography.
