This completely revised edition 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 analyze and interpret human
growth. After covering the history, philosophy and biological
principles of human development, the book turns to the evolution of
the human life cycle. Later chapters explore the physiological,
environmental and cultural reasons for population variation in
growth, and the genetic and endocrine factors that regulate
individual development. Using numerous historical and cultural
examples, social-economic-political-economic forces are also
discussed. A new chapter introduces controversial concepts of
community effects and strategic growth adjustments, and the author
then integrates all this information into a truly interactive
biocultural model of human development. This remains the primary
text for students of human growth in anthropology, psychology,
public health and education.
