Patterns of Human Growth (Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology) Book

This book presents an anthropological, evolutionary and biocultural perspective to the study and interpretation of human growth. Based on courses which Dr Bogin teaches to a mixture of medical, nutrition and anthropology students, the book provides a synthesis of the forces that shaped the evolution of the human growth pattern, the biocultural factors that direct its expression, the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that regulate individual development and the biomathematical approaches needed to analyse and interpret human growth.Read More

  • Product Description

    An anthropological, evolutionary, and biocultural perspective of the study and interpretation of human growth. He provides a synthesis of the forces shaping its evolution, the biocultural factors directing its expression, the intrinsic and extrinsic factors regulating individual development, and biomathematical approaches needed to analyze and interpret human growth. Professor Bogin discusses the history, basic principles, and evolution of the pattern of human growth. He gives a comprehensive explanation for human growth in terms of its functional and adaptive significance, genetic and endocrine factors, and its mathematical and biological models. Finally, he presents a new model of growth regulation that combines quantitative elements from mathematics, molecular biology, and neuroendocrine physiology.
