Humans are able to thrive in a multitude of ecological and social environments, including varied environments over an individual lifetime. Migration—leaving one place of residence for another—is a central feature of many people's life histories, and environmental change goes hand-in-hand with migration, both in terms of cause and consequence. Climate change has amplified this connection between environment and migration, with the potential to profoundly impact millions of lives. Although climate-induced migration has been at the forefront of other disciplines in the social sciences, evolutionary anthropologists (EAs) have given it little attention. In this paper we draw upon existing literature and contribute our EA perspective to present a framework for analyzing climate-induced migration that utilizes theoretical approaches from a variety of social science disciplines. We focus on three overlapping dimensions—time, space, and severity—relevant to understanding the impact of climate change on human migration. We apply this framework to case studies from North America of people impacted by climate change and extreme weather events, including hurricanes, droughts, rising sea-levels, and wildfires. We also consider how access to both economic and social resources influence decisions regarding migration. Research focused on climate-induced human migration can benefit equally from the addition of EA perspectives and a more interdisciplinary theoretical approach.

进化人类学对理解气候引起的人类迁徙的贡献

人类能够在众多生态和社会环境中茁壮成长,包括个人一生中的各种环境。迁移——离开一个居住地去另一个居住地——是许多人生活史的一个核心特征,环境变化与迁移密切相关,无论是在原因还是结果方面。气候变化放大了环境与移民之间的这种联系,有可能对数百万人的生活产生深远的影响。尽管气候引起的移民一直处于社会科学其他学科的前沿,但进化人类学家 (EA) 却很少关注它。在本文中,我们利用现有文献并贡献我们的 EA 观点,以提出一个框架来分析气候引起的迁移,该框架利用来自各种社会科学学科的理论方法。我们关注三个重叠的维度——时间、空间和严重性——与理解气候变化对人类迁徙的影响有关。我们将此框架应用于北美受气候变化和极端天气事件(包括飓风、干旱、海平面上升和野火)影响的人们的案例研究。我们还考虑了经济和社会资源的获取如何影响有关移民的决策。侧重于气候引起的人类迁徙的研究可以从 EA 观点的增加和更多跨学科的理论方法中受益。我们关注三个重叠的维度——时间、空间和严重性——与理解气候变化对人类迁徙的影响有关。我们将此框架应用于北美受气候变化和极端天气事件(包括飓风、干旱、海平面上升和野火)影响的人们的案例研究。我们还考虑了经济和社会资源的获取如何影响有关移民的决策。侧重于气候引起的人类迁徙的研究可以从 EA 观点的增加和更多跨学科的理论方法中受益。我们关注三个重叠的维度——时间、空间和严重性——与理解气候变化对人类迁徙的影响有关。我们将此框架应用于北美受气候变化和极端天气事件(包括飓风、干旱、海平面上升和野火)影响的人们的案例研究。我们还考虑了经济和社会资源的获取如何影响有关移民的决策。侧重于气候引起的人类迁徙的研究可以从 EA 观点的增加和更多跨学科的理论方法中受益。包括飓风、干旱、海平面上升和野火。我们还考虑了经济和社会资源的获取如何影响有关移民的决策。侧重于气候引起的人类迁徙的研究可以从 EA 观点的增加和更多跨学科的理论方法中受益。包括飓风、干旱、海平面上升和野火。我们还考虑了经济和社会资源的获取如何影响有关移民的决策。侧重于气候引起的人类迁徙的研究可以从 EA 观点的增加和更多跨学科的理论方法中受益。
