Patterns of Human Growth

Patterns of Human Growth

Barry Bogin

This completely revised edition provides a synthesis of the forces that shaped the evolution of the human growth pattern, the biocultural factors that direct its expression, the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that regulate individual development, and the biomathematical approaches needed to analyze and interpret human growth. After covering the history, philosophy and biological principles of human development, the book turns to the evolution of the human life cycle. Later chapters explore the physiological, environmental and cultural reasons for population variation in growth, and the genetic and endocrine factors that regulate individual development. Using numerous historical and cultural examples, social-economic-political-economic forces are also discussed. A new chapter introduces controversial concepts of community effects and strategic growth adjustments, and the author then integrates all this information into a truly interactive biocultural model of human development. This remains the primary text for students of human growth in anthropology, psychology, public health and education.

The Family as an Environment for Human Development

Napoleon Wolański, Barry Bogin

The central theme of this book is the family as an environment for child development. The diversity of research topics, from evolutionary biology to the urban environment, serves to emphasize the importance of the family as the filter which process energy and information from the greater environment into a form that can be utilized by the developing child. The family is the source of biocultural reproduction. The family reproduces both people (the biological) and reproduces the technology, the social organization, and the ideology of a society in those new people (the cultural). This book has four major themes: 1) the place of the family in nature and human society, 2) the family in historical perspective, including differences between various cultural groups, 3) the family as an environment for human growth, development and education, and 4) the family in transition in the contemporary world. These themes are the subject of 12 chapters, and a preface, written by an international array of scholars. The wide diversity of subject matter described in these chapters will make this book of interest to anthropologists, economists, historians, medical professionals (e.g., nurses and some physicians), philosophers, political scientists (and some politicians), psychologists, sociologists, and theologians.
