Demography, historical (ancient Mediterranean)
View through CrossRef
AbstractPopulations are the object of study of demography. The discipline aims to understand the size, the distribution, the composition (structure), and the development of populations. Historical demography, in focusing on populations of the past, is tightly intertwined with the discipline of history. Asking truly transdisciplinary questions, demography often finds answers in knowledge provided by neighboring disciplines: anthropology, sociology, biology, climatology, geography, archaeology, and economy are of particular importance in this. Many questions asked by demographers ultimately pertain to the three main demographic parameters that determine macro‐demographic developments: mortality, fertility, and migration.
