Studies of dental and skeletal growth and development have
often been treated as independent disciplines within the
literature. Human Growth in the Past, first published in 1999,
brings together these two related fields of enquiry in a single
volume whose purpose is to place methodological issues of growth
and development in past populations within a strong theoretical
framework. Contributions examine a variety of aspects of human
growth in the past, drawing from both palaeoanthropological and
bioarchaeological data. The book covers a wide spectrum of topics,
from patterns of growth in humans and their close relatives,
innovative methods and applications of techniques and models for
the study of growth, to estimation of age-at-death in subadults and
infant mortality in archaeological samples. Human Growth in the
Past will be of interest to biological anthropologists, and those
in the related fields of dental anatomy, evolutionary biology and
developmental biology.
