Molecular Biology and Human Diversity
Av Anthony J. Boyce, C. G. Nicholas Mascie-Taylor
Häftad, 2005
911 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Considerable attention is being paid to the use of molecular evidence in studies of human diversity and origins. Much of the early work was based on evidence from mitochondrial DNA, but this has been supplemented by important information from nuclear DNA from both the Y chromosomes and the …
Body Composition Techniques in Health and Disease
Av P. S. W. Davies, T. J. Cole
Häftad, 2006
838 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Body composition studies are used in a wide variety of fields including human biology, medicine, sports science, epidemiology and nutrition. They may be used to predict later body composition from childhood measures, bone density loss in athletes under heavy training regimes or in the elderly, to …
Genetic Variation and its Maintenance
Av Derek F. Roberts, G. F. De Stefano
Häftad, 2008
700 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This volume considers the genetic variability of human populations, particularly in the tropics: its origins and maintenance, and its contribution to the phenotypic variability of complex characters. The first section deals with the ways of analysing genetic variation and provides a valuable review …

Lägg i varukorg
This two-day symposium in the annual Society for the Study of Human Biology Symposium Series covers a wide spectrum of growth physiology, and presents a state-of-the-art review of human auxology, from factors affecting cellular growth, through nutritional factors affecting the growth of the infant, …
Fertility and Resources
Av John Landers, Vernon Reynolds
Häftad, 2009
634 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Fertility in animals reflects access to scarce resources, such as food and territory. In humans the situation is more complex. Patterns of breast feeding, contraception and ideas about age at marriage and desired family size all affect fertility. The relation between these and access to scarce …

Urban Ecology and Health in the Third World
Av Lawrence M. Schell, Malcolm Smith m. fl.
Häftad, 2009
748 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This volume looks at the relationship between specific aspects of Third World cities and human health. Rapid and extensive urbanization of the less developed nations is perhaps the most dramatic demographic phenomenon of our times, but its impact on human biology is not well understood. Here, a …
Human Biology and Social Inequality
Av Simon S. Strickland, Prakash S. Shetty
Häftad, 2009
796 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Measures of biological variation have long been associated with many indices of social inequality. Data on health, nutrition, fertility, mortality, physical fitness, intellectual performance and a range of heritable biological markers show the ubiquity of such patterns across time, space and …
Diet and Disease
In Traditional and Developing Societies
Av Geoffrey Ainsworth Harrison, J. C. Waterlow
Häftad, 2009
885 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The relationship between diet and those diseases caused by, or related to, poor nutrition is influenced by anthropological and physiological factors. This volume, first published in 1990 and based on a symposium organised in collaboration with the International Commission on the Anthropology of …
The Biology of Human Ageing
Av A. H. Bittles, K. J. Collins m. fl.
Häftad, 2009
653 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The processes that control senescence have been the subject of more then a century of serious biological research. Two institutions closely involved in this programme, the Society for the Study of Human Biology and the British Society for Research in Ageing, held a joint symposium in 1984 to …
Human Mating Patterns
Av C. G. N. Mascie-Taylor, Anthony J. Boyce
Häftad, 2009
667 kr
Lägg i varukorg
First published in 1988, this book examines the causes and consequences of different mating patterns in man with particular reference to biological, medical and demographic factors. Although the effects of inbreeding on genetic structure and gene frequencies have been well covered in the medical …

Long-term Consequences of Early Environment
Growth, Development and the Lifespan Developmental Perspective
Av C. Jeya K. Henry, Stanley J. Ulijaszek
Häftad, 2009
636 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The early environment in which we grow up has profound, long lasting, and often irreversible consequences for us throughout our lives. Stresses due to under nutrition in early childhood can mean that in adulthood individuals are smaller, more prone to disease, and have a shorter life expectancy …
