The nature of regional differences, developmental changes, pathological abnormalities, and the impact of heredity and environment in shaping body composition are discussed in the context of human evolution. For instance, the author looks at how growth, aging, and exposure to heat, cold, excess or lack of nourishment modify normal body composition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613477257367,"sku":"9780521019033","price":6741.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521019033.webp?v=1775085506","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/body-composition-in-biological-anthropology-9780521019033","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
