Human Nutritional Ecology And Evolution

Human Nutritional Ecology and Evolution presents a unified view of its subject by combining perspectives from primate ecology, paleoanthropology, and comparative ethnography. . Within biological anthropology-- at the intersection of human evolution, human ecology, primate ecology, and medical anthropology-- an emerging field addresses evolutionary views of human subsistence, diet and nutrition, and health and disease. Human Nutritional Ecology and Evolution is the first textbook for the new field that is single-authored, concisely focused on essential principles, accessibly written for for undergraduates, and offers and integrated overview of its subject matter.
