Applications of Biological Anthropology to Human Affairs by C. G. Nicholas Mascie-Taylor,Gabriel W. Lasker Pdf

The unique contribution made by biological anthropology to human welfare lies in the fundamental understanding it can provide of the dynamic interrelationships between physical and social factors. By understanding these patterns, we can interpret the significance of variation in such measures of human well-being in terms of the incidence of disease and mortality rates. Topics covered in this book include reproductive ecology and fertility, nutritional status in relation to health, and the effects of pollution on individual growth. In later chapters, the concepts of physiological adaptation and Darwinian fitness and their relation to individual physical fitness are explored.

Toward a More Natural Science by Leon R. Kass Pdf

Kass shows how the promise and the peril of our time are inextricably linked with the promise and the peril of modern science. The relation between the pursuit of knowledge and the conduct of life—between science and ethics, each broadly conceived—has in recent years been greatly complicated by developments in the science of life. This book examines the ethical questions involved in prenatal screening, in vitro fertilization, artificial life forms, and medical care, and discusses the role of human beings in nature.

Darwinism and Human Affairs by Richard D. Alexander Pdf

From books blurb: Darwinism and human affairs. Drawing on recent developments in biology, a distinguished scholar discusses human behavior in terms of modern evolutionary theory. With clarity and precision, he argues that evolution can be used as an explanatory principle to help understand a wide range of human social activity. This line of inquiry leads him to some far-reaching speculations about the reasons for cultural change and it directions. The book begins with a review of basic evolutionary theory, presenting evidence to support the proposition that human social organization arises out of characteristics evolved by the process of natural selection. This approach resolves the apparent contradiction between the concepts of humans as either hedonistic individuals or groups altruists, by showing that they are actually both, and by explaining how this can be true. To test this view of human evolution, the author examines various predictions about human behavior that follow logically from the principle of natural selection. Cultural patterns in marriage, inheritance, and social altruism are explored, and the concepts of justice, ethics, and morality are interpreted in new ways. The result is a better understanding of the relationship between the process of organic evolution and the structure, variations, and significance of human behavior.

Biology in Human Affairs (Classic Reprint) by Walter V. Bingham Pdf

Excerpt from Biology in Human Affairs The subject matter falls naturally into three parts. The first part is general in character. It contains reflections upon the philosophy of biology and upon the validity of its conclusions. Here the authors have also tried to show how the field Of biology is ever broadening through the inclusion of problems which were formerly thought to be beyond the reach of scientific procedure. The second part is concerned with the mind. It contains a skeletonized account of the general development of psychology, and essays on the application of psychological methods to education and to industry. The third part treats of the body. It is designed to show, in some measure, the progress in dealing with man as an animal. It portrays some of the advances in genetics, in medicine, in the work of the public health officer, in physiology, in biochemistry, and in general zoology put to the service. In addition, there is an extended discussion of the means by which man increases his food supply and thus makes it possible to feed some twenty million additional people with the advent of each new season.

Science and Human Affairs From the Viewpoint of Biology (Classic Reprint) by Winterton C. Curtis Pdf

Excerpt from Science and Human Affairs From the Viewpoint of Biology The present volume sets forth certain of the humanistic aspects of natural science with illustrations largely from the field of biology. The work is an outcome of the author's experience as a teacher of zoology, although much that is here contained forms no part of routine zoological instruo tion. The interest of college students in the broader aspects of science, as viewed by the biologist, leads him to believe that the matter presented may interest a wider audience. We often hear the statement that we live in a scientific age. But what does this mean historically, and what does it imply for the future? Again, it is said that the present is a period of readjustment. Readjustment to what, and because of what? The present volume seeks in a modest way to answer these questions. The writer has also found an incentive in his conviction that the world has arrived at an age of science, that the necessary readjustments have not been completed and that the future belongs to the scientific frame of mind.

Cultural Selection by A. Fog Pdf

1. INTRODUCTION This book describes a new interdisciplinary theory for explaining cultural change. In contrast to traditional evolutionist theories, the present theory stresses the fact that a culture can evolve in different directions depending on its life conditions. Cultural selection theory explains why certain cultures or cultural ele ments spread, possibly at the expense of other cultures or cultural elements which then disappear. Cultural elements include social structure, traditions, religion, rituals, art, norms, morals, ideologies, ideas, inventions, knowledge, technology, etc. This theory is inspired by Charles Darwin's idea of natural selection, because cultural elements are seen as analogous to genes in the sense that they may be reproduced from generation to generation and they may undergo change. A culture may evolve because certain cultural elements are more likely to spread and be reproduced than others, analogously to a species evolving because individuals possessing certain traits are more fit than others to reproduce and transmit these traits to their offspring.
