Human Ecology

This paper concerns the perception of the study of human ecology. Amongst many, human ecology is seen as a combination of many discrete areas of study and therefore multi-or interdisciplinary in nature. This paper argues that the perception of the study of human ecology should be similar to that of the ecology of any other animal species. That ecology of any individual animal species is seen as one holistic coherent unit and there the so should human ecology. Possible reasons further per received dine-upon be twee human ecology and the ecology of other bio-logical organisms are discussed and reasons for rejection of this type of approach given in terms of the shared biological nature of human beings and other living organisms To illustrate the holistic concept of human ecology, nineteen specialized areas of research are examined with re to their position within human ecology and their equivalents indicated in the ecology of other biological species It suggested that a coherent holistic view of human ecology is essential, as it is through knowledge of the interactions of the many areas comprising human ecology that Homo sapiens has live potential to direct its own future ecology in desirable directions
