Synopsis Anthropological Demography is recognized as the basis for understanding of the genetic differentiation of human populations.  It bridges between different disciplines providing basic material for the analysis of bio-cultural changes and also economic, social and political changes.  Anthropological demography also proves useful in health promotion and disease curative strategies.  Keeping in mind the significance of the anthropological demography, a modest attempt has been made to present relevant research papers in the book form.  This book is based on the proceedings of a national seminar entitled 'Role of Anthropology in Human Welfare'.  It contains thirteen research papers after peer review of total papers. In view of its dimensions the book which is first of its kind in Anthropological Demography would be of immense help and useful to general reader, academicians, sociologists, Anthropologists, Demographers, Social Workers and Researchers.
