Surnames and Genetic Structure
This book presents a lucid description and evaluation of these studies of the genetic structure of human populations.
Happenings and Hearsay
One of the founders of modern human biology and physical anthropology, Gabriel W. Lasker holds a well-established place in the history of science. In a classic article published in Science in 1969, Lasker advanced the idea of plasticity, the process of human adaptation to stressful environments by a series of modifications to the body during the course of physical growth and development. This concept was a factor that led the scientific community to give up its reliance on the notion of genetically fixed racial types. As he documents the rapidly changing field of anthropology and some of its leading figures, Lasker gives his readers a peek inside the lives of people who have defined what it means to be human -- and one of those people is himself.

Research Strategies in Human Biology
This book is about the process of doing research, not about the results obtained. A number of researchers with experience working on problems including environmental stresses, population genetics, parasitic vectors and vital records describe obstacles encountered and successful strategies employed in their own studies and in those of others. One learns to do research by trial and error, but accounts such as these can supplement what one learns from mentors and fellow students.
The Human Biology of the English Village
For some fifteen years between 1965 and 1980, the staff of the Department of Biological Anthropology at Oxford, in collaboration with colleagues elsewhere in Oxford and in other universities, were involved in analyzing as minutely as possible the human biology of a small group of villages in the Otmoor region of the County of Oxfordshire.
