Biological Perspectives on Human Pigmentation
ISBN: 9780521020206 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Skin color is perhaps the most decisive and abused physical characteristic of humankind. This book presents a multidisciplinary overview of how and why human populations vary so markedly in their skin color. The biological aspects of the pigment cell and its production of melanin are reviewed. The functions of melanin in the skin, brain, eye and ear are considered, and the common clinical abnormalities of pigmentation, such as albinism, are described and illustrated. Detailed reflectance data from worldwide surveys of skin color are also presented. Next, historical and contemporary...

Molecular Applications in Biological Anthropology
ISBN: 9780521675529 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The recent revolution in molecular genetics, which has already made such a significant impact in the biomedical sciences, is now becoming established in biological anthropology. New techniques have enabled anthropologists to study biological variation at the molecular level, and a wealth of exciting information on human and non-human primate populations is now becoming available for the first time. This volume presents a selection of pioneering research studies in which molecular techniques have been used to address key questions, for example about the human genetic system, the geographical...

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...

Applications of Biological Anthropology to Human Affairs
ISBN: 9780521019354 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The unique contribution made by biological anthropology to human welfare lies in the fundamental understanding it can provide of the dynamic interrelationships between physical and social factors. By understanding these patterns, we can interpret the significance of variation in such measures of human well-being in terms of the incidence of disease and mortality rates. Topics covered in this book include reproductive ecology and fertility, nutritional status in relation to health, and the effects of pollution on individual growth. In later chapters, the concepts of physiological adaptation...

The Evolution and Genetics of Latin American Populations
ISBN: 9780521022392 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 532 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The human genetic make-up of Latin America is a reflection of successive waves of colonization and immigration. There have been few works dealing with the biology of human populations at a continental scale, and while much data is available on the genetics of Latin American populations, most information remains scattered throughout the literature. This volume examines Latin American human populations in relation to their origins, environment, history, demography and genetics, drawing on aspects of nutrition, physiology, and morphology for an integrated and multidisciplinary approach. The...

Human Variability and Plasticity
ISBN: 9780521453998 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Plasticity refers to the ability of many organisms to change their biology or behavior to respond to changes in the environment. Humans are probably the most plastic of all species, and hence the most variable. This is the first book to examine the history of research in this area and it provides information on state-of-the-art research methods and discoveries. It also maps out some areas of future research in human plasticity and variability. Topics discussed include child growth, starvation, diseases of both young and old, and the effects of migration, modernization and other life-style...

Molecular Biology and Human Diversity
ISBN: 9780521019224 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The public is now paying considerable attention to the use of molecular evidence in studies of human diversity and origins. Much of the early work in this area was based on evidence from mitochondrial DNA, but this has now been supplemented by important new information from nuclear DNA from both Y chromosomes and the autosomes. The bulk of the material available is from living populations, but this is being extended by the study of DNA from archaic populations. The underlying models used in interpreting this evidence are based on the neutral theory of molecular evolution, but also consider...

Human Variation: From the Laboratory to the Field
ISBN: 9781138112568 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 317 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The transition in anthropological and biomedical research methods over the past 50 years, from anthropometric and craniometric measurements to large-scale microarray genetic studies has resulted in continued revision of opinions and ideas relating to the factors and forces that drive human variation. Human Variation:From the Laboratory to the Field brings together the contributions of 22 scientists working in four continents to identify and address challenges imposed by variability. It reviews the way we examine and analyze human variation, paying specific attention to genetics,...
