摘要

Humans have a dual nature. We are subject to the same natural laws and forces as other 物種 yet dominate global 生態學 and exhibit enormous variation in energy use, 文化 多樣性, and apparent 社會 organization. We suggest scientists tackle these challenges with a macroecological approachusing comparative 統計 techniques to identify deep patterns of variation in large datasets and to test for causal mechanisms. We show the power of a metabolic perspective for interpreting these patterns and suggesting possible underlying mechanisms, one that focuses on the exchange of energy and materials within and among human societies and with the biophysical environment. Examples on human foraging 生態學, life history, space use, 族群 structure, 疾病 生態學, 文化 and linguistic 多樣性 patterns, and industrial and 城市 systems showcase
