Genetics Adaptation (45 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book starts with the origin of life and ends with the mechanisms that make muscles adapt to different forms of training. In between, it considers how evidence has been obtained about the extent of genetic influence on human capacities, how muscles and their fibres are studied for general properties and individual differences, and how molecular biological techniques have been combined with physiological ones to produce the new discipline of molecular exercise physiology. This is the first book on such topics written specifically for modules in exercise and sport science at final year Hons BSc and taught MSc levels. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - You know that feeling when something just does not add up. Billions are thrown at fixing gaps in smarts and success, but nothing really changes. This book digs into the raw science behind human variation that has been pushed aside. It lays out the facts on evolutionary psychology, cognitive differences, heritability of IQ, racial disparities in intelligence, population genetics, IQ testing history, and evolutionary biology without the fluff.Why do people tick differently This book answers that question straight up. It tackles cognitive differences and how they play out in real life. It breaks down heritability of IQ with insights from history's big debates. It spotlights population genetics and evolutionary biology. It unpacks racial disparities in intelligence with evidence that hits hard. James Watson, co discoverer of DNA, once said that all social policies are based on the assumption that African intelligence is the same as European intelligence, whereas all the testing suggests otherwise.Tough topics, but worth it. This book does not preach. It presents solid information on evolutionary psychology, human evolution, and IQ testing history.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - An enduring controversy in evolutionary biology is the genetic basis of adaptation. Darwin emphasized 'many slight differences' as the ultimate source of variation to be acted upon by natural selection. In the early 1900's, this view was opposed by 'Mendelian geneticists', who emphasized the importance of 'macromutations' in evolution. The Modern Synthesis resolved this controversy, concluding that mutations in genes of very small effect were responsible for adaptive evolution. A decade ago, Allen Orr and Jerry Coyne reexamined the evidence for this neo-Darwinian view and found that both the theoretical and empirical basis for it were weak. Orr and Coyne encouraged evolutionary biologists to reexamine this neglected question: what is the genetic basis of adaptive evolution In this volume, a new generation of biologists have taken up this challenge. Using advances in both molecular genetic and statistical techniques, evolutionary geneticists have made considerable progress in this emerging field. In this volume, a diversity of examples from plant and animal studies provides valuable information for those interested in the genetics and evolution of complex traits. …
