Fig Trees and Humans : Ficus Ecology and Mutualisms across Cultures, Hardback Book

Fig Trees and Humans : Ficus Ecology and Mutualisms across Cultures Hardback

Part of the Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology series

Hardback

Description

Humans and figs form hybrid communities within the context of anthropogenic landscapes, supported by biocultural mutualisms driven by traits of Ficus species and people’s imagination and practices, and where humans also positively influence Ficus species ecology.

Fig Trees and Humans examines the interactions between the biology and ecology of the genus Ficus and how humans use and think of Ficus species across the tropics and in the Mediterranean region.

It demonstrates a high level of convergence of material and symbolic uses of human-fig interactions that affect various aspects of human culture, as well as the ecology of wild or cultivated Ficus species.
