Description: "Human Biological Variation lucidly explains the use of probability and statistics in studies of human variation and adaptation, keeping the mathematics at the level of basic algebra. It also presents computer simulations in a manner that makes complex issues easily understandable. Integrating examples on topics that are of particular interest to students - including dyslexia, IQ, and homosexuality - Human Biological Variation provides the most thorough view of our biological diversity and is ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate classes on human adaptation and variation."--Jacket.
