A Vignette on Human Body Growth from Infant to Adult.
Meredith, Howard V.
This booklet pertains to the size and the form of the human body in infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Historic and current information is presented for individuals in population groups of the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. Differences in size and growth patterns between urban and rural individuals of the same racial descent are described. Similar comparisons are drawn between the poor and the economically privileged. Also contrasted are lowland and highland populations, first born and later born siblings, and females and males. (GC)
