This volume covers a wide arena,
and truly reflects the nature of anthropology as an integrated discipline.
This volume is divided into five sections— I. Ecology, Demography and
Health; II. Human Biology; III.
Medical Anthropology; IV.
Human Rights and V.
Development, Society and Its Future—consisting in total
twenty-one research papers.
An overview of the volume shows that today anthropology is
not concerned with the study of primitive and peasent
socities but has included in its scope urban and
industrial socities. It is equally concerned with
the issues of human development and progress and has become far more
integrated. CONTENTS
