Abstract:

"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."--Jacket.
