Part 1 Beginnings: becoming human cultural origins the agricultural transformation. Part 2 Regional unfoldings: Northern Africa Ethiopia and the Horn Western Africa Central Africa Eastern Africa Southern Africa conclusion - the end of the beginning
From Definition, To Geography, To Action, To Reaction
Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) illustrates the way that definitions within the health sciences may influence geographical understanding and the development of both curative and preventive interventions. When in the early 1950s medical analysts recognized that a nutritional disorder termed kwashiorkor existed among infants and young children in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, they singled out protein as the key missing ingredient. The…

Impaired Fertility in Tropical Africa
Birthrates in tropical Africa are among the highest in the world, but many zones in the region have below-norm fertility. Proximate determinants are the framework used to explain the occurrence of these zones. Of greatest significance are factors that affect duration of postpartum amenorrhea, incidences of sterility and spontaneous intrauterine abortions, and frequency of intercourse. POPULATION is growing more rapidly in tropical Africa than in …
Vines, Wines, and Regional Identity in the Finger Lakes Region
Although the regional climate is unfavorable, microclimatic effects of the lakes and their valleys make viticulture possible. Production based on native American grape varieties that yield sweet wines is declining. Introduction of vines to produce dry wines has led to changes in operations and vineyard location that may create a new, positive image for the regional wines. W INE making has been described as the most geographically expressive of ag…
Malthus Past and Present
This document contained 9 summary reports and 20 of the 164 papers which were presented at the 1980 International Conference on Historical Demography. The purpose of the conference was to reexamine the ideas of Malthus to identify misinterpretations of his theories to trace the origin of his ideas and the historical context in which he formulated his theories and to evaluate their applicability in the past and in the present. The conference made …
Fertility Control in Africa
Fertility control is examined in 2 pastoral societies in Africa: the Kipsigis and the Fulani. The Kipsigis have experienced considerable fertility change during the 20th century. Patterns have been less altered among the Fulani but recent drought and resettlement may have initiated changes that are not yet documented. The model of fertility regulation that can be constructed for most of tropical Africa contains elements of the broad cultural patt…

Patterns of Protein-Energy Malnutrition and Food Deprivation among Infants and Toddlers in Africa South of the Sahara
In at least one respect the mid and late 1970s have been similar to the mid and late 1960s, namely in the amount of attention devoted to the problem of world hunger. From a variety of popular and professional media the message is broadcast clearly that millions of people are starving and malnourished and that the future will be even more bleak than the present unless population growth is slowed, food production increased, and wealth redistributed…

The Use of the Term “Hypothesis” in Geography∗
Stating a hypothesis is becoming a common procedure in geographic writing, but the meaning and function of the term “hypothesis” have a wide array of interpretations. Some geographers use the term to pose fairly specific, directional relationships between phenomena, others use it to state more general relationships, and still others equate it with question, explanation, conclusion, contention, assumption, and model. This confused state of affairs…
