Given the rapidly developing area of evolutionary medicine and
public health, The Arc of Life examines ways in which research
conducted by biological anthropologists can enrich our
understanding of variation in human health outcomes. The book aims
not only to showcase the perspective that biological
anthropologists bring to the burgeoning field of evolutionary
medicine, but to underscore the context of human life history --
especially the concept of evolutionary trade-offs and the ensuing
biological processes that can affect health status over the life
course. This dual emphasis on life history theory and life cycle
biology will make for a valuable and unique, yet complementary,
addition to books already available on the subject of evolution and
health. The book consolidates diverse lines of research within the
field of biological anthropology, stimulates new directions for
future research, and facilitates communication between
subdisciplines of human biology operating at the forefront of
evolutionary medicine.
