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.
