这本书于1979年首次发表，是对博茨瓦纳卡拉哈里沙漠布须曼人人口的经典研究。作者使用简单和充分说明的方法，对现在著名的！Kung狩猎-采集者的生育率、死亡率和婚姻模式进行了实证描述。非洲卡拉哈里沙漠中的布须曼国王在科学界占据着不寻常的地位。他们之所以被选中进行深入研究，正是因为他们在地理上、社会上和经济上都与现代工业化社会相去甚远，生活在一片辽阔的半沙漠中，居住在一个人烟稀少的偏远地区。！Kung保持着一个充分发展的狩猎和采集社会的语言和文化，(直到最近)没有依赖于种植的植物，除了狗之外没有驯养的动物，没有基于血缘或职业的等级制度，没有权力或权力结构，没有延伸到由几个亲属组成的地方乐队，没有工资劳动，没有使用金钱，也没有固定的占领地点。与此同时，孔令辉已经成为西方社会科学学生--无论是本科生还是专业学生--的知名人物。Kung告密者的面孔从封面和人类学和社会学的许多文本的插图中凝视。为什么所有的关注都是围绕着！公人发展起来的？部分答案在于人民自己。！Kung是一个外表迷人的人，有着苗条优雅的身体和开放的小脸蛋，吸引人，上镜。他们的文化朴素，有其鲜明的特点。生存的挣扎，点击的语言，对分享和谦逊的强调，个人进入恍惚状态直接与鬼魂对话治愈疾病的治愈舞蹈的戏剧性，以及无处不在的幽默，戏谑和嬉戏的风格，这些都是相对容易传达和有趣的L赚到的。这项工作涵盖了婚姻、生育、疾病、死亡率、历史和预测的未来等领域。这本书将对人口统计学研究、人类学和非洲研究的学生感兴趣。
First published in 1979, this is a classic study of the population of the Bushmen of the Kalahari Deselt of Botswana. Using methods that are simple and fully illustrated, the author presents empirical descriptions of the fertility, mortality, and marriage patterns of the now famous !Kung hunter-gatherers. The !King "Bushman" people of the Kalahari desert in Africa occupy an anomalous position in the world of science. They have been selected for intensive study precisely because they are geographically, socially, and economically removed from modern, industrialized society, living in a sparsely settled and remote portion of an enormous semidesert. The !Kung maintain the language and culture of a fully develop hunting and gathering society with (until very recently) no dependence on cultivated plants, no domesticated animals other than the dog, no stratification system based on kinship or occupation, no power or authority structure extending further than the local bands composed of a few related families, no wage labor, no use of money, and no settled sites of occupation. At the same time, the !Kung have become well-known figures to students--both undergraduate and professional--of Western social science. The faces of !Kung informants gaze from the covers and the illustrations of many texts in anthropology and sociology. Why has all this attention been developed around the !Kung people? Part of the answer lies in the people themselves. The !Kung are a physically attractive people, with slender, graceful bodies and open small-featured faces that are appealing and photogenic. Their culture is simple and has its striking features. The struggle for subsistence, the click language, the emphasis on sharing and humility, the drama of the curing dances in which individuals go into trance and speak directly to spirits to cure sickness, and the pervasive humor, teasing, and playfulness of the !Kung style are all features that are relatively easy to convey and interesting to l earn about. This work covers areas such as marriage, fertility, disease, mortality, history, and the projected future of the !Kung. This book will be of interest to students of demographic studies, anthropology, and African studies.
