"This comprehensive introduction to the field of human biology covers all the major
areas of the field: genetic variation, variation related to climate, infectious and
non-infectious diseases, aging, growth, nutrition, and demography. Written by four
expert authors working in close collaboration, this second edition has been thoroughly
updated to provide undergraduate and graduate students with two new chapters: one
on race and culture and their ties to human biology, and the other a concluding summary
chapter highlighting the integration and intersection of the topics covered in the
book" ; "The book covers all the major areas of human biology: Genetic variation,
variation related to climate, infectious and non-infectious diseases, aging, growth,
nutrition, and demography. All chapters are authored by leading experts in the field.
Extensively rewritten by the four authors working in close collaboration for consistent
style and format, the new edition of this best-selling book also features two new
chapters, one on race and culture and their ties to human biology, and the other a
concluding summary chapter highlighting the integration and intersection of the topics
covered in the book"
