PDF-(READ)-Human Biological Variation, 2nd Edition

Authoritative yet accessible Human Biological Variation Second Edition opens with an engaging introduction to basic genetics and the evolutionary forces that set the stage for understanding human diversity It goes on to offer a clear and detailed discussion of molecular genetics including its uses and its relationship to anthropological and evolutionary models The text features uptodate discussions of classic genetic markers blood groups enzymes and proteins along with extensive background on DNA analysis and coverage of satellite DNA single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs and Alu inserts It covers such current issues as the meaning and significance of race quantitative genetics and the nature versus nurture debates biocultural interactions population structure and cultural and historical influences on patterns of human variation Discussing the use of probability and statistics in studying human variation and adaptation in a lucid and approachable way the book provides clearly explained math that is kept to the level of basic algebraIntegrating realworld examples on interesting topicsincluding genetic testing lactose intolerance dyslexia IQ and homosexualitythe second edition of Human Biological Variation provides the most thorough and contemporary view of our biological diversity.

Major concepts related to human genetic variation.. Relationship between basic biomedical research and the improvement of personal and public health.. Human variation: defined . Human variation refers to the fact that there are a range of possible values for each of the numerous physical characteristics of human beings.. People of the same species can have differing phenotypic traits that can be related to:. Human tooth size lies central to the fields of dentistry, physical anthropology, human biology, forensic dentistry, and archaeology. An appreciation of the genetic and environmental determinants of tooth size is fundamental to an understanding of the metric variation of teeth in humans. Thus, besides imparting a sound knowledge of the theories of dental inheritance, development and evolution, this book demonstrates the diverse practical applications of odontometrics. It is a long time since I have been as enthusiastic about a book on human evolution as I am about Richard Klein\'s The Human Career.--Leslie Aiello, Times Higher Education Supplement[This book] will set a standard by which future books, setting out the course of human evolution, may measure their success.--Bobby Joe Williams, Quarterly Review of BiologyThe best introduction to the problems and data of modern palaeoanthropology yet published.--Penny Dransart, Antiquity The emergence of the genus Homo is widely linked to the colonization of new highly seasonal savannah habitats. However, until now, our understanding of the possible impact of seasonality on this shift has been limited because we have little general knowledge of how seasonality affects the lives of primates. This book documents the extent of seasonality in food abundance in tropical woody vegetation. It then presents a systematic analysis of seasonality\'s impact in food supply on the behavioral ecology of non-human primates and ultimately applies its conclusions to primate and human evolution. This introductory college textbook provides a view of the many subfields composing biological anthropology . It also offers a critical examination of the natural selection theory that forms the basic paradigm of the discipline. The book discusses various evolutionary perspectives on human biology an In its ninth edition, The Human Species continues to provide a comprehensive approach to biological anthropology, especially the relationship between biology and culture, behavior in an evolutionary context, and humans as a species within the primate order. With its lively narrative and emphasis on the most current topics and findings in the field, The Human Species explores the major questions that concern biological anthropologists about our species. .
