It examines adaptation to space on timescales of generations, rather than merely months or years, and uses evolutionary adaptation as a guiding theme. Employing the lessons of evolutionary adaptation, \u003ci\u003ePrinciples of Extraterrestrial Anthropology\u003c\/i\u003e recommends evolutionarily-sound strategies of space settlement, covering genetics at the organismal and population levels. The author organizes the concept of cultural adaptation to environments beyond Earth according to observed patterns in human adaptation on Earth. He uses original artwork and tables to help convey complex information in a form accessible to undergraduate and graduate students. Though primarily written to engage students interested in space settlement and exploration, who will eventually build a full anthropology of space settlement, \u003ci\u003ePrinciples of Extraterrestrial Anthropology\u003c\/i\u003e is engaging to anthropologists across sub-disciplines, as well as scholars interested in the human dimensions of space exploration and settlement. Just as the term \u003ci\u003eexobiology\u003c\/i\u003e was invented only a few decades ago to shape the field of space life studies, \u003ci\u003eexoanthropology\u003c\/i\u003e is outlined to assist in the perpetuation of Earth life through human space settlement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-09-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030250195\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-25021-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 364.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45587764215948,"sku":"9783030250195","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030250195_1d9e34c1-d35a-4f64-87c4-ba9eacf2a799.jpg?v=1767270144","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030250195","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
