PDF-(BOOS)-Diseases and Human Evolution

Recent interest in new diseases such as HIVAIDS and Ebola and the resurgence of older diseases like tuberculosis has fostered questions about the history of human infectious diseases How did they evolve Where did they originate What natural factors have stalled the progression of diseases or made them possible How does a microorganism become a pathogen How have infectious diseases changed through time What can we do to control their occurrence Ethne Barnes offers answers to these questions using information from history and medicine as well as from anthropology She focuses on changes in the patterns of human behaviour through cultural evolution and how they have affected the development of human diseases Writing in a clear lively style Barnes offers general overviews of every variety of disease and their carriers from insects and worms through rodent vectors to household pets and farm animals She devotes whole chapters to major infectious diseases such as leprosy syphilis smallpox and influenza Other chapters concentrate on categories of diseases gut bugs for example including cholera typhus and salmonella among them mad cow disease West Nile virus and Lyme disease In the tradition of Berton Roueche Hans Zinsser and Sherwin Nuland Ethne Barnes answers questions you never knew you had about the germs that have threatened us throughout human history.

Offers a nontechnical overview of the field of paleoanthropology, presenting the primate fossil record in view of what skeletal remains can reveal about their populations\' anatomy, behavior, and social organization. Contains chapters on fossils and dating methods, determining evolutionary relationsh Human children grow at a uniquely slow pace by comparison with other mammals. When and where did this schedule evolve? Have technological advances, farming and cities had any effect upon it? Addressing these and other key questions in palaeoanthropology and bioarchaeology, Simon Hillson examines the unique role of teeth in preserving detailed microscopic records of development throughout childhood and into adulthood. The text critically reviews theory, assumptions, methods and literature, providing the dental histology background to anthropological studies of both growth rate and growth disruption. Chapters also examine existing studies of growth rate in the context of human evolution and primate development more generally, together with implications for life history. The final chapters consider how defects in the tooth development sequence shed light on the consequences of biological and social transitions, contributing to our understanding of the evolution of modern human development and cognition. In Becoming Human, noted anthropologist and renaissance man Ian Tattersall explores what makes us uniquely human, the qualities that set us apart from our ancestors, and the significance of our knowledge. A worldwide tour of discovery, Tattersall takes the reader from 30,000-year-old cave paintings in France and anthropological digs in Africa, to examining human behavior in a New York restaurant. And by offering wisdom gleaned from fossil remains, primate behavior, prehistoric art, and archaeology, Tattersall presents a stunning picture of where humankind evolved, how Darwin\'s theories have changed, and what we reliably know about modern-day human\'s capacity for love, language, and thought. Widely praised in the media, and an Amazon.com Top-10 bestseller, Becoming Human is an amazing trip into the past and into the future.
