title: Ethnohistorical processes and demographic structure of the island of Rab, Croatia.
abstract: The present paper aims at describing the most relevant background data on geomorphological, economic, ethnohistoric and demographic features of the island of Rab. They show the most important population movements to the island that affected its population structure. This work, as a part of the holistic anthropological research of morphological, physiological, genetic and socio-cultural variables which have been carried out on the island of Rab, seeks to identify both internal and external impulses of change and/or continuity of the island population structure within a wider socio-cultural and historical context.
