Description
"The Growth of Humanity provides an introduction to key concepts, methods of research, and essential discoveries in the fields of human demography and human growth and development, particularly in relation to disease, nutrition, and aging. This book explains the evolution and significance of human life history, especially human childhood and adolescence, and shows how new stages of human development lead inextricably to the growth of the entire human population.". "The Growth of Humanity is appropriate as an introduction for graduate students and advanced undergraduates studying human growth/development and demography and is also appropriate for demographers, anthropologists, and human biologists."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
My purpose in this book is twofold: first, to provide an introduction to the key concepts, methods of research, and essential discoveries of the fields of human demography and human growth and development, and second, to show that demography and human growth are two closely related fields, indeed, that only by considering both simultaneously can we come to understand much of the biological and social history of the human population.
