Research on health involves evaluating the disparities that are
systematically associated with the experience of risk, including
genetic and physiological variation, environmental exposure to poor
nutrition and disease, and social marginalization. This volume
provides a unique perspective - a comparative approach to the
analysis of health disparities and human adaptability - and
specifically focuses on the pathways that lead to unequal health
outcomes. From an explicitly anthropological perspective situated
in the practice and theory of biosocial studies, this book combines
theoretical rigor with more applied and practice-oriented
approaches and critically examines infectious and chronic diseases,
reproduction, and nutrition.
