Manual of Physical Anthropology
Original language description
The Manual of Physical Anthropology provides expert information about physical anthropology and its application in the study and research of the biological variability of humans and human populations in time and space.The book is written for students of healthcare disciplines, for students of medicine, for students of teaching degrees in human biology and kinanthropometry,and for postgraduate students and professionals (doctors, coaches, nutrition advisors, etc.). Instead of striving to provide comprehensive information on physical anthropology, our aim is to captivate and interest readers in this field of study. The book is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter introduces physical anthropology, explaining its position and goals in the system of anthropological disciplines. This is followed by a chapter presenting the standardized methods of anthropometry and a chapter describing the organization of anthropological research and presenting a historical overview of major anthropological surveys. The subsequent chapters outline methods designed to evaluate body composition and human constitution and methods assessing the physical growth and development of children. The last chapter but one details methods serving to assess the physical parameters of an individual or group compared to the standard using the Z-score. The final chapter sets out the anthropometric instruments used in physical anthropometry and describes their technical parameters. The reader may appreciate the glossary of terms in English, Czech, and Polish provided at the end of each chapter.
