Joëlle Robert-Lamblin was part of the extraordinary scientific experience. Contrées arctiques et subarctiques. depuis des années, anthropologues et ethnologues cherchent à décrypter les mécanismes démographiques, sociaux et culturels d’adaptation de l’homme à cet environnement spécifique et analysent les processus d’évolution des petites sociétés locales, en contact toujours plus nombreux avec le monde occidental. Joëlle Robert-Lamblin a fait partie de cette formidable aventure scientifique. Retour sur un parcours hors norme.
