Description
This volume provides a thought-provoking perspective on the empirical and analytic study of body form and composition.
The techniques used for measuring body components such as fat, water, lean tissue, bone mass and bone density are evaluated against potential 'gold standards'.
The nature of regional differences, developmental changes, pathological abnormalities, and the impact of heredity and environment in shaping body composition are discussed in the context of human evolution.
All those concerned with biological anthropology, both clinicians and researchers, will find this book of great interest.
