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
and Darwinian fitness and their relation to individual physical
fitness are explored.
