Plasticity refers to the ability of many animals to alter their biology on response to changes in their environment. Humans are perhaps the most plastic of all species, and hence the most variable. This cook covers topics such as child growth, starvation, disease and the effects of migration, modernisation and other life style changes on human variability. It will be especially useful to students and researchers in biological anthropology and human biology interested in expanding their knowledge of this fascinating area.
