Abstract

As the last American region settled by humans, yet the first to experience European colonization, the Caribbean islands have a complex history characterized by continuous migration, admixture, and demographic change. In the last 20 years, genetics research has transformed our understanding of Caribbean population history and revisited major debates in Caribbean anthropology, such as those surrounding the first peopling of the Antilles and the relationship between ancient Indigenous communities and present-day islanders. Genetics studies have also contributed novel perspectives for understanding pivotal events in Caribbean post-contact history such as European colonization, the Atlantic Slave Trade, and the Asian Indenture system. Here, I discuss the last 20 years of Caribbean genetics research and emphasize the importance of integrating genetics with interdisciplinary historic, archaeological, and anthropological approaches. Such interdisciplinary research is essential for investigating the dynamic history of the Caribbean and characterizing its impact on the biocultural diversity of present-day Caribbean peoples.

加勒比海人口历史的人类学遗传学见解
作为美洲最后一个人类定居的地区,同时也是第一个经历欧洲殖民的地区,加勒比群岛有着复杂的历史,其特点是不断的移民、混合和人口变化。在过去的20年里,遗传学研究改变了我们对加勒比人口历史的理解,并重新审视了加勒比人类学中的主要争论,例如围绕安的列斯群岛第一批居民的争论,以及古代土著社区与当今岛民之间的关系。遗传学研究也为理解加勒比地区接触后历史上的关键事件,如欧洲殖民、大西洋奴隶贸易和亚洲契约制度,提供了新的视角。在这里,我讨论了过去20年的加勒比遗传学研究,并强调将遗传学与跨学科的历史、考古和人类学方法相结合的重要性。这种跨学科研究对于调查加勒比的动态历史和描述其对当今加勒比人民生物文化多样性的影响至关重要。

期刊介绍: Evolutionary Anthropology is an authoritative review journal that focuses on issues of current interest in biological anthropology, paleoanthropology, archaeology, functional morphology, social biology, and bone biology — including dentition and osteology — as well as human biology, genetics, and ecology. In addition to lively, well-illustrated articles reviewing contemporary research efforts, this journal also publishes general news of relevant developments in the scientific, social, or political arenas. Reviews of noteworthy new books are also included, as are letters to the editor and listings of various conferences. The journal provides a valuable source of current information for classroom teaching and research activities in evolutionary anthropology.
