Variability in Human Fertility
ISBN: 9780521117944 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Many wrongly believe that reproductive cycles are very similar among human females. In actuality, there are considerable variations among individuals and within the reproductive life of any given female. "Normal" reproductive cycles cover a wide range of examples, and the likelihood of successful monthly egg release and ensuing pregnancy can be modified by many factors. In this book, the variability of human fertility is examined by looking first at the physiological processes regulating reproduction. Interpopulation variation in normal ovarian function is then discussed, covering the...

Human Paleobiology
ISBN: 9780521451604 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Human Paleobiology provides a unifying framework for the study of past and present human populations to a range of changing environments. It integrates evidence from studies of human adaptability, comparative primatology, and molecular genetics to document consistent measures of genetic distance among subspecies, species, and other taxonomic groupings. These findings support the interpretation of human biology in terms of fewer number of populations characterized by higher levels of genetic continuity than previously hypothesized. Using this as a basis, Robert Eckhardt goes on to analyze...
