Description
Perspectives in Human Biology offers students a unique look at the ways we study ourselves and the connection between the smallest units of matter (atoms and molecules) to the largest (ecosystems). Covering the basics of human biology, Knapp begins with a concise overview of science and scientific thinking. Early on, the author discusses the chemistry of life and cells and tissues, linking the conceptual nature of atoms and molecules to the actual behavior of cells. Discussions of human behavior, evolution, and genetics further clarify our link to all life on Earth. He concludes with a look at the bioshpere, the delicate balance of forces, and the roles science and human intelligence play now and in the future.
