Klappentext This study elucidates the biological and behavioural processes leading to the successful adaptation of circumpolar human populations. Zusammenfassung The International Biological Programme investigated the biology of circumpolar human populations in the period 1967–1974. This research was carried out by multidisciplinary teams and covered demography, genetics, craniofacial development, growth, ophthalmology, nutrition physiology and behaviour. The study elucidates the biological and behavioural processes leading to this successful adaptation. Inhaltsverzeichnis Foreword J. S. Weiner; 1. Introduction D. R. Hughes and F. A. Allen; 2.
