poverty and forced migration have particularly devastating effects on wellbeing, often with lasting intergenerational effects. The findings set out above suggest that investigative collaborations of epigeneticists working with social scientists, epidemiologists, public health researchers and historians could be very fruitful. In recent years, certain epidemiologists have entered into such collaborations (see, for example, Relton and Davey Smith 2012), and anthropologists are also becoming involved in both the design of research projects and the collection of data (Roberts 2016). The most effective of these projects are those in which ‘environment’ is explicitly delineated or contoured for the purposes of any given investigation, with full awareness that doing so is a device, with unavoidable limitations. Deductive thinking is not abandoned, but is greatly supplemented by attention given to interrelated, overlapping orbits that contain dense webs of partial knowledge, on the basis of which interpretive accounts can be readily discerned and explicated.
