PDF-(READ)-Worldwide Variation in Human Growth

The health of a population is most accurately reflected in the rate of growth of its children This theme prevalent in this book underlies the analysis and presentation of what is by far the largest compilation of growth data ever assembled in one source The first edition published in 1976 included all known reliable recent results on height weight skinfolds and other body measurements from all parts of the globe In this edition numerous subsequent measurements taken between 1976 and 1988 have been included as well as the results of a large number of new studies made on rate of maturation as evinced by bone age and pubertal development stages Many sections of the book dwell on disentangling the effects of the environment and heredity on growth and attempt to answer the question of whether one universal standard suffices for all peoples of the world or whether different populations such as races or nations should each have their own optimal growth standards.

In populations or when comparing closely related species, one major objective is to identify variation among the samples. AKA, one of the main goals in genomics is to identify what genomic features make individuals/populations/species different. Part 1. Learning Objectives. 1.

Basic text for the sophomore/junior level course in Human Variation or Human Diversity taught anthropology or biology departments.This classic introduction to human variation, has been thoroughly updated to include the issues and controversies facing the contemporary study of diversity. 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 up-to-date 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 algebra.Integrating real-world examples on interesting topics--including genetic testing, lactose intolerance, dyslexia, IQ, and homosexuality--the second edition of Human Biological Variation provides the most thorough and contemporary view of our biological diversity.
