Daniel G. Bates is an anthropologist and human ecologist. He is professor emeritus of anthropology at Department of Anthropology, Hunter College, CUNY. He is also the editor-in-chief of Human Ecology.[1]
Education and early research
editBetween 1968 and 1971, Bates conducted ecological fieldwork in Turkey and the Middle East.[2] He received his PhD from University of Michigan in 1971.[3] His doctoral dissertation The Yoruk of Southeastern Turkey: A Study of Social Organization and Land Use was based on fieldwork in Turkey with the Yörüks.[4] It was published in 1973 by University of Michigan Press as Nomads and Farmers: A Study of the Yörük of Southeastern Turkey.[5]
Career
editBates' research focuses on the intersection of anthropology, ecology and human culture. Much of his early research focused on nomadic groups in Turkey and West Asia,[6] including adaptive culture, intergroup exchange, systems of pastoralism,[7] and marriage patterns among the Yörük.[8][9] He has also done research on ethnic minorities in the Balkans and Eastern Europe.[10]
In 1976, Bates was invited by Susan H. Lees to co-edit the journal Human Ecology, after Andrew P. Vayda retired from the role.[11] That year, he also Bates co-authored Anthropology: Decisions, adaptation, and evolution with Fred Plog and Clifford J. Jolly.[12]
He co-edited Case Studies in Human Ecology with Lees in 1996, which was a collection of studies previously published in Human Ecology.[13] In 1998, he published Human Adaptive Strategies: Ecology, Culture and Politics.[14] Between 1998 and 2002, he also taught at Istanbul Bilgi University.[4]
Bates co-authored Human Adaptive Strategies An Ecological Introduction to Anthropology (2023) with Judith Tucker and Ludomir Lozny.[15]
