Wide-ranging and inclusive, this text provides an invaluable review of an expansive
selection of topics in human evolution, variation and adaptability for professionals
and students in biological anthropology, evolutionary biology, medical sciences and
psychology. The chapters are organized around four broad themes, with sections devoted
to phenotypic and genetic variation within and between human populations, reproductive
physiology and behavior, growth and development, and human health from evolutionary
and ecological perspectives. An introductory section provides readers with the
historical, theoretical and methodological foundations needed to understand the more
complex ideas presented later. Two hundred discussion questions provide starting points
for class debate and assignments to test student understanding.
