Book description
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.
