It reviews the way we examine and analyze human variation, paying specific attention to genetics, growth and development, and physiology. In presenting new evidence and findings, it also discusses current developments in methodology and analytical techniques, detailing both field and laboratory approaches, and looking at how the two perspectives complement each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn bridging that gap between laboratory trials and studies of the human in context, this book covers a number of interesting research areas including —\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eHuman adaptation to natural and artificial light, including variations in circadian photosensitivity and effects of light on GI activity \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eCold tolerance and lifestyle in modern society \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eGenetics of body weight and obesity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eHuman adaptability to emotional and intellectual mental stresses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeography, migration, climate, and environmental plasticity as contributors to human variation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eImpact of natural environmental stressors including pollution on physiological and morphological processes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the latest volume in a series of works from the \u003cem\u003eSociety for the Study of Human Biology \u003c\/em\u003e(SSHB), which for half a century has advanced and promoted research in the biology of human populations in all of its branches including human viability, genetics, human adaptability, and ecology, and evolution.
