Synopsis

Problems of Modern Science offers a clear look at anatomy, evolution, and the methods scientists use to study life. It covers how bones grow, how internal secretions may influence form, and what this means for understanding human differences and the tree of life.

From the building of the thigh-bone to the big questions of how species are classified, the text ties together anatomy, physiology, and the role of experiments in biology. It also discusses the cooperation between universities and museums, and the importance of global collaboration in studying life on Earth.

• How bone growth involves cartilage, bone-forming tissue, and the balance of cells in shaping the skeleton.


• The possible influence of ductless glands on growth, race characteristics, and skeletal form.


• How systematics classifies living things and aims to reconstruct the tree of life.


• How biogeography and experimental biology contribute to understanding evolution and adaptation.

Ideal for readers curious about how biology connects growth, anatomy, and evolution.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
