Abstract
Key concepts in ecological anthropology need careful testing by case studies to determine the limits of their applicability and any need for redefinition and conceptual development. This article applies the concept of “population” to an endogamous group in southern India, the Yelnadu Reddis, who have a distinctive, reticulately structured set of relations with their physical and social resources.
