The Peopling of Planet Earth
Human Population Growth Through the Ages
Roy A. Gallant
How, and when, did human beings come to populate virtually every corner of
plant Earth's surface? How have people and the environment affected each
other over the past 10,000 years? How many people can the planet support in
comfort? Why are many scholars alarmed by the present population growth
rate? Drawing on research from many disciplines, including anthropology,
evolutionary biology, demography, and climatology, noted science writer Roy
Gallant tells the story of human population distribution and growth from the
origins of Homo sapiens to the present. Illustrated with B&W photos and
drawings.
