This volume provides a thought-provoking perspective on the
empirical and analytic study of body form and composition. The
techniques used for measuring body components such as fat, water,
lean tissue, bone mass and bone density are evaluated against
potential 'gold standards'. The nature of regional differences,
developmental changes, pathological abnormalities, and the impact
of heredity and environment in shaping body composition are
discussed in the context of human evolution. All those concerned
with biological anthropology, both clinicians and researchers, will
find this book of great interest.
