Population history is built on individual lifetimes. Life traits such as health, mobility and fertility determine demographic trajectories. Demography, in turn, drives environmental, cultural and biological change, altering future life histories. To unravel these complex feedback loops is to learn where our societies and genomes came from, and where we might go next. Central to these endeavours is the reconstruction of local demographic histories from the archaeological record, which can reveal long-term cycles of growth, decline and transformation. These reconstructions can be built from the top-down (charting macro trends in human activity) or bottom-up (characterising bioarchaeological…
